Big Sonic Heaven: Fall sounds to start the season

Tonight we got snuggled in for the first day of fall coming up this week. We featured new music from Fleeting Colours, a song called “Autumn,” a dreamy, cozy psych-folk cover of a Lester Folsom song from Beach House, and the latest from The Church and ACTORS.

Plus, we heard a new instrumental from Dead Can Dance, picked Apples for Isaac with Echo and the Bunnymen, and much, much more along with your fave Shoegaze, Dreampop, and Post-Punk classics.

Check out the playlist below and listen to the episode on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
