New Local Music Roundup: Tunde Olaniran, My Brightest Diamond and more
Listen to “MI Local” with host Jeff Milo every Tuesday from 9-10 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET.
Flint-based musician Tunde Olaniran is celebrating the release of their latest album, "Stranger," with a performance at the Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids.
It’s a busy week for new releases when it comes to the Michigan music scene, particularly around the metro Detroit area!
Let’s start with the incomparable Flint-based musician/artist Tunde Olaniran, releasing their latest album, Stranger, celebrated by a performance next Saturday, at the Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids!
Meanwhile, Detroit-based electronic art-pop auteur My Brightest Diamond, aka Shara Nova, have released three new singles from her forthcoming album, Fight the Real Terror, which is out today!
We heard this song, “Safe House,” last week on MI Local.
Next, let’s bend our ears towards Kalamazoo to listen to an interesting new album featuring the versatile instrumental hip-hop producer known as The Lasso (aka Andy Catlin), paired up with the boundary-pushing indie-rock quartet known as The Go Rounds.
Catlin is a former member of The Go Rounds, which made this a natural collaboration. This new album by The Lasso (& The Go Rounds), released just yesterday, is titled Pedal Steel, and our favorite track from it is “Goldwine.”
Back here in Detroit, a ’90s-vibed indie-rock quartet known as The Microplastics have released a catchy and dreamy little ballad that has just the right amount of spookiness to help us settle into some autumnal vibes; it’s called “Undead.”
Listen to “MI Local” with Jeff Milo every Tuesday from 9-10 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET.
