"In The Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.

Best feedback I got today was “thanks for afternoon Sufjan cry session.” You’re welcome! Played some Sufjan Stevens today.

Plus Norah Jones, the wonderful under-appreciated pop of Magdalena Bay, a spotlight on Time Wharp’s ambient break-beat house music and more.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
