On the show this time, it’s the rich storytelling of Matt Berninger.  Matt Berninger is, of course, the front-person for The National, a band that has been writing perfect songs to live your life to, since they formed back in 1999.  His first “solo” record, Serpentine Prison, was produced by Memphis legend Booker T Jones, and they started a label together to put it out.  His latest offering is called Get Sunk and it is available on Book Records.

On the show this time, it’s the brilliant songs and transcendent singing of Seattle’s own Deep Sea Diver.
Deep Sea Diver is at its core, the dynamic duo of guitarist and singer Jessica Dobson, and drummer Peter Mansen. They released their first EP in 2009, followed up by the albums History Speaks, Secrets, and Impossible Weight.  They played a live session in the Gathering Space at KEXP - with bandmates Elliot Jackson, Kristyn Chapman, and Michael Dondero - to celebrate their latest Billboard Heart.  It is available on Sub Pop Records.

A rising star that's been turning heads at an ever-increasing pace, the You&Me Records chief and Hide&Seek Festival co-founder, Josh Baker, joined us in London for his highly anticipated BR debut along with Elliot Schooling & Liam Palmer and Isaac Carter

Isaac Carter | Boiler Room: London

On the show this time, it’s the fresh original rock of English band Black Country, New Road.
The London based group make delightful music, catchy but unpredictable, poppy - but with elements of classical music, cinematic scores, jazz, choral music, show tunes, and heavy rock.  And that’s really selling them short.  They play music.  Anything is on the table.  Their latest is called Forever Howlong and it is available on Ninja Tune Records.

On the show this time, it’s the inimitable smart-pop of legendary band - They Might Be Giants.
They Might Be Giants have been making records since the early ‘80s, building a legion of hardcore fans, addicted to their charming, clever, catchy, and completely original sound. Since then, they’ve released a massive body of work. They are now on their 23rd full length album.  Their latest is called Book and is available on the band’s own Idlewild Recordings.

On the show this time, it’s the soul-filling songs of Choctaw Nation story-teller Samantha Crain.
Shawnee, Oklahoma native Samantha Crain is foremost a writer.  She’s got characters to introduce, stories to tell, and an original take on country-folk singer-songwriter music.  She has been making recordings since the mid 2000s, putting out her first EP The Confiscation herself, a collection based on 5 of her own short stories.  Her way with words has united a community of musicians who collaborate and contribute to her sound.  Now 7 full albums in, her latest is 2025’s Gumshoe, available on Real Kind Records.
