My Fiction – Shallow Highs

My Fiction’s songs cover everything from hook ups and parties to dealing with heartbreak and finding a deeper connection with someone. Whatever the subject matter, each song features a very fitting melody and harmony that relays the message of the lyrics very well. The songs about lust feature heavy, muddy, fast paced guitar riffs while the songs relaying a deeper emotional feeling contain more somber harmonies often featuring synthesizers and reverb. Shallow Highs truly captures the spectrum of human emotion. However, the message overall is to always have a positive outlook. -Brian McKenzie

Hey West Chester, meet DJ of the Week, Lauren Hein

Hey West Chester, meet DJ of the Week, Lauren Heine! Lauren is a junior Ecology major with a chemistry minor. She has always had a passion for music and love for playing guitar, cello, and some piano. Over the summer, she started learning to play the saxophone. Being a part of WCUR has given Lauren a chance to share the music she loves and get creative with making weekly playlists for her shows.

Lauren describes her show as so, "I have a different theme each week and play a variety of genres, including rock, alternative, indie, and R&B. I like to tell fun facts about the music and artists I feature and sometimes feature special guests!"

Tune into Lauren's show Wednesdays from 7-8pm!

⚠️New Artist Alert⚠️

An old soul since birth and young only by circumstance, Phoebe Collins has probably spent more time knitting and listening to punk rock than most. She lives, works, and makes music in New Jersey. An artist by both choice and genetics, Phoebe’s portfolio includes sound, image, text, and performance.

Her latest single- a cover of the Buggles’ “Video Killed a Radio Star” - is the result of a collaboration with WCUR in celebration of our station’s 25th anniversary coming soon. Her production styles combined dark synths and drum machines with textured vocal layering to put a goth twist on a new-wave classic.

Go check her out West Chester!

HAPPY MUSIC REC MONDAY!! This week’s recommendation is Noah Kahan's album, “Stick Season.” Brought to you by WCUR DJ, Mariana Leo!

Mariana says this about the album, “My sister got me into Noah Kahan since she loves him. This is one of her favorite songs and now one of mine. I really like the beat and pace of the song. I like slower songs and his vocals in this are amazing. I love the New England area and this song reminds me of the long car rides up to that area. As we get into the colder months, this sound fits that vibe as well.”
