New this year, the Music Team at KAXE gets together at the end of each month to talk all things new music.
The three of us — Malachy Koons, Dan Gannon aka DJ Dang and me, Music Director Kari Hedlund — chat about our favorite songs and albums released that month, music we’re looking forward to and the songs we just can't get enough of in the "Monthly Music Recap."
Take a listen to our notes on March, where we dig into albums like the intimate and deeply personal solo release from Jason Isbell, throwback sounds in The Original Sound of Mali 2 and Ghanian highlife music from Florence Adooni.
For favorite songs, we highlight the Deep Sea Diver track we can't stop air drumming to, a story of working-class history from The Devil Makes Three, a new collaboration that fulfills many Minnesota music fans dreams from Alan Sparhawk with Trampled by Turtles and many more.
