    The A.M. - Podcast February 16, 2026

    Happy Family Day (at least in Alberta). This week's episode starts with a selection of explicitly dreamy tunes before drifting through the typical AM sounds (not that dreamy is outside the standard AM purview). Hope you enjoy the mellow music, and that you find ways to stay cozy as the winter storm hits this week.Playlist: Masahiro Takahashi - DreamiesBill Holt - Program Ten Part ThreeDreamsploitation - Major Seventh GateContagious Yawns - As If In a DreamThe Album Leaf - Within DreamsSilje Nes - Recurring DreamTacoma Park - UntiedNatural Magic - Skyward EyeEasy Idiot - Don't Tell MomFloral Image - The Dream - Minami Deutsch RemixUntrained Animals - Dream DiscoSpencer Cullum's Coin Collection, featuring Erin Rae - Look at the MoonLuke Temple - Echo Park DonutMomoko Gill - Anyway, I'm DrowningThanya Iyer - Let the Smoke ClearWhiling - House CatElyse Weinberg - Deed I DoElyse Weinberg - Spirit of the LetterCheryl Lancastle - Downtown SongStereolab - Flashes in the AfternoonLyke Rayne - Closing the SeamThe Sleeves - Come On ManCindy Lee - Wild OneMovietone - Useless LandscapeThe American Analog Set - Diana Slowburner IISoftcult - When a Flower Doesn't GrowHelicon, Al Lover - Tabula RasaYuutsu - NoveltyExpwy - Sterilize the warden under cover of darknessUlrika Spacek - Showroom PoetryThe Moon Birds - I Am the BreezeWould-Be-Goods - Don't Come Crying to MeGot a Girl - Things Will Never Be the SameAbsolutely Free - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine AnymoreFeist - It's Cool To Love Your Family

    The A.M. - Episode February 9, 2026

    For this week's AM, we open with a contemplative Chad VanGaalen, closing with La Luz's psychedelia, and working through a range of sounds in between—from upbeat Talking Heads covers and Estonian garage rock to vintage four-track recordings and jazz-harp grooves. Hope you enjoy it.Playlist: Chad VanGaalen, Patrick Horner - Ocean ChordShane Parish - SlipAutechre - SlipElori Saxl, Henry Solomon - A Thousand StepsNTHNL - Awakenings, Part IIJohn Haughey, Tarotplane - Previous IterationsPolmo Polpo - Dreaming...Again (2020)Bernard Grancher, featuring Allison Brice - I should feel confinedPostnamers - Lethbridge is 666Galaxius Mons, featuring YlangYlang - The Earth Moved in Quarter Tone Silent WavesSean Wolcott - Crystal Eyes Stalk at MidnightNo Birds - FlowersBell Orchestre - The Upwards MarchCassie Watson Francillon - Constellation of SymptomsCharles Stepney - Notes From DadCharles Stepney - No Credit For ThisL'Eclair, featuring Kay Yõko - Space SongSlim Twig - Fog of Sex (NSIS)Strawberry - YoungSleepkit - It's Incredible!Jah Wobble, Jon Klein - Fading AwayVarious Artists, featuring Florence Adooni - Crosseyed and PainlessPenza Penza - Volcano SongPanman Pat - Chip ChipJoāo Leāo - Pode SerEdu Lôbo - Viola Fora De ModaWax Machine - SpringtimeTremendous Aron - Upstairs at Ismail'sVarious Artists, featuring Skyminds - Whispering PalmRiver Flows Reverse - DemonsKing Khan, featuring The Gris Gris - Desert Mile instrumentalThe Garrys - ManitounaLa Luz - News of the Universe - Extra!

    The A.M. - Episode February 2, 2026

    Start your February on solid ground with hazy sounds, echoey shoegaze, folky electronics, and gems from years gone by. With new music from The Soft Pink Truth, classics from Beck and The Flaming Lips, Venezuelan psych, Welsh folktronica, and other sounds you didn't know you needed on a Monday morning. Hope you enjoy it.Playlist: JB Dunckel - Melo Walk (Version for String Quartet)The Soft Pink Truth - Mere Survival Is Not EnoughGreen-House - Farewell, Little IslandKayla Painter - AniccaDialect - EusaSpirit & Form - Effective HoningHannah Peel - Driving Swiss JesusCris Derksen - PlanesLuka Kuplowsky - Temporary Words Mental ActivityDemsky - EarthTeen Daze - Memory Fadeverticalpark - Cathedral (AJL)Huw Marc Bennett - Cân y GwarthegSetting - Heard a BubbleThe American Analog Set - Kills Me / Make It Take It - RepriseOzean - ScenicOzean - PorcelainLove Kills - Give Me Something I Can LoveExtra Happy Ghost!!! - Feeds Wolves LuckBodywash - Kind of LightMelody's Echo Chamber - Memory's UndergroundJulie Doiron - Happy Lucky GirlBeck - RamonaThe Flaming Lips - Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)Andrew Wasylyk, featuring Gruff Rhys - The Cold CollarJana Horn - It's alrightAmbre Ciel - eau miroirJane Weaver - Hud a LlefrithVarious Artists, featuring Grupo Espiga - Dama gentilThe Summerlad - Set to LightPopulation II - Mariano (Jamais je ne t'oublierai)Plankton Wat - Tentacles

    The A.M. - Podcast January 26, 2026

    A wide-ranging Monday morning, with a throwback to a surprisingly silly early Jóhann Jóhannsson project, a hospital-themed electronic concept album, breezy Japanese pop, early 2000s Canadian post rock, and other hopefully somewhat coherent sounds to start your week right.

    The world may be going mad, but at least we can share in some good tunes along the way. The AM is your sonic sanctuary (BBC News aside, but a dose of reality is important, too), featuring a throwback to Calgary/Montreal project Chairs, and everything from live Dead to modular synths to Bad Brains' HR working with New Age Doom. Hope you enjoy it, and have a wonderful week.Playlist: Shabaka - A Future UntoldC.
