    The A.M. - Episode July 13, 2026

    Back into the regular swing of The AM, with new music from Dungen, Vanishing Twin, OHMA, Akusmi, and many more. The show starts with a lovely chant from Jim Pepper's Everything is Everything, because frankly it's been a rough few days and a bit of affirmation is always appreciated. Lean on it if you need it, too, and hope you enjoy the rest of the show.Playlist: Everything Is Everything - Witchi Tai ToOHMA - Rooted in Her PresencePierre-Yves Martel, featuring Joel Plaskett - Golden GarbageThe Durutti Column - ScammerGhost Cartridge - watching tv alone in the darkAkusmi - Pleine LuneAsh Brooks - ShastaTomo Katsurada, Jonny Nash - Anone NoneTommy Perman, Hanna Tuulikki - Move Your Body (Greater Horseshoe Bat)⣎⡇ꉺლ༽இ•̛)ྀ◞ ༎ຶ ༽ৣৢ؞ৢ؞ؖ ꉺლ - (̸̢̛̼̞̭͋ͅ)̸͚̰͛̔̾̀̿͒͂v̴̢͚͚͎ȯ̶̞̮͖̑̈́OOOOOOooo☼⃝☼⃝◉࿃ूੂ࿃ूੂੂ ʅ͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡()ʃ͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡͡ ꐑ(ఠీੂȯ̶̞̮͖̑̈́̿)̸̳̥̰̜̥̺̐ͅ࿃ूੂ✧⃛✧⃛)̴͎̜͍̱̋̌͋̓̾̚͜ ̷̨̢̥̅͝ͅ(̸̢̛̼̞̭͋ͅ)̸͚̰͛̔̾̀̿͒͂:̴͓̞̑̌̂̆̊͋̀:̸͎̟̯̂̓̌:̶̢͙͙͕̠̩͆(̷̮͍͚̫͚͂Play Time - WanderersSecos & Molhados - O Patrão Nosso De Cada DiaJoyce Moreno, Tutty Moreno, Adrian Younge - FingersAvi Engel - Garden of Earthly DelightsDark Orchard - It's Been a PleasureDif Juz - Echo WreckDif Juz - Love InsanePearl & The Oysters - Mandarin MoonMandrake Handshake - En VolYabra - MoonriseVanishing Twin - Bring Me the AxeDungen - En Gång I TimmenCarl Didur - Coda to the MomentOrbital Ensemble - TrilhaPanman Pat - Ju-JuBruce Peninsula - Cliffs & CovesHammock - We Close Our Eyes so We Can SeeThe Analog Girl - nebulaKaster - ColtBrown Spirits - That River Ain't for SwimmingSome Become Hollow Tubes - Killing a Dead Eagle

    Running through some favourites from the first half of 2026. Follow @theam.ca on Bluesky for links to the full playlist of 100+ songs, which will likely grow a bit in the weeks to come as I realize more that I missed. Hope you enjoyed this brief respite from Stampede season. We'll be back to the usual mix of new releases, classic throwbacks, and offbeat easy listening next Monday.Playlist: John Haughey, Tarotplane - Impossible VistasJared Mattson & Ruban Nielson - American EagleCédric Dind-Lavoie - Ce qu'il y a autourRosenau & Sanborn - HarmBuildings and Food - 4 a mBUNKR - 96 RefractionHanakiv - SunbeamsRadwan Ghazi Moumneh & Frédéric D.

    The A.M. - Episode June 29, 2026

    Wrapping up June with an eclectic AM, throwing back to electro-poppers Seeland, checking on new releases from Fiver, PJ Harvey, and Maya Ongaku, and generally aiming for the right balance between waking up and calming down.

    Don't let the cloud cover fool you, it is in fact the day after the Summer Solstice, and there is scattered sunshine throughout this week's AM. This week's throwbacks is to one of the all-time great debuts — Belle and Sebastian's Tigermilk — along with atmospheric electronics, Thai psychedelia, a spin-off from Project Gemini, and other sounds to start your week off right.

    The AM's annual Sled Island special, with 10 of today's artists also appearing at Sled later this week. Hopefully it hangs together outside of that, too, despite some grogginess on your humble host's part. We all have to find our footing sometimes.Playlist: Laraaji - All Pervading (Glimpse)Clear Path Ensemble - Tongue RhythmNick Schofield - Imagine SpaceHollie Kenniff, featuring Kazuma Okabayashi - Familial TonesThor Harris, Immersion - At the Wizard's HouseHarald Grosskopf - Stranger StringsIbrahim Alfa Jnr. - LatentPesewa - The Path is NewJairus Sharif - Study WrongSalamanda - allez, pousse!Emily A.

    The A.M. - Episode June 8, 2026

    The sun is shining—for the moment at least—and The AM is here to give a chance to bask in the glow for a few hours. A throwback to Jerry Paper's philosophically dense oddball pop, new music from AM favourites like Tara Clerkin Trio, Bernardino Femminielli, and Memorials, and other offbeat easy listening to start your week off right. Enjoy the sunshine before the clouds settle in for the rest of the week, and thanks for listening.Playlist: Michael Scott Dawson, Yutaka Hirasaka - Jin SonicThe Sleeves - You, Now, AgainIvan the Tolerable - EpigramGary Bartz & Your Brother’s Keeper - Ground LoopTENGGER - BlueCharbonneau / Amato - DeersJuni Habel - Pearl Cloud Song - Tom Sharkett ReformationMIDI Janitor - Voice at the Edge of SummerDavid A.
