On this edition of All Songs Considered, I have a new song from Sylvan Esso and a conversation with Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn about the duo's next album, Free Love. It's due out in September. I've also got music from The Psychedelic Furs, from the band's first new album in 29 years!
I'm excited about some new voices on the show, including the music of TRISHES and her song, "Gaslight," inspired by someone she calls a sociopath and how his manipulation changed her sense of identity. Singer Madeline Kenney teams up with the members of Wye Oak for a thoughtful song of understanding and empathy; and the South Sudanese artist Gordon Koang brings some joy.
