Sweet shoegaze babies, the air feels right for another Aspirin Age show, tonight, on DKFM. This time, I’m opening a quiet window into the future. This is your first listen to 12 tracks from the forthcoming Aspirin Age Five compilation releasing on October 13th via Broken Sound Tapes for cassette week 🖤

Five years of this series, and somehow I’ve never shared an early glimpse until now. The songs were chosen at random, but together they drift like a single dream. Close your eyes, let the reverb wash over you…this is one to dissolve into 🖤

The floor’s the limit” on Aspirin Age, a painfully good selection of shoegaze, psych, and dream pop tunes compiled by Nicole Davis for DKFM. From dark and heavy to sheer and shimmery, Nicole has an admirable knack for putting together a monthly must-hear for fans and creators in and around the shoegaze genre. With roots in community radio in the US, Nicole and Aspirin Age represent the best of what can sprout from independent community-centric people and initiatives over time.

In this blank mood Q+A Nicole shares the origin story of Aspirin Age, the radio show and the shoegaze compilation. She also reveals what currently excites her most about shoegaze, something she thinks musicians should know about radio DJs, and her one potentially controversial opinion about shoegaze.
