21 years since the site launched and I’m still wowed by the Drowned in Sound community, who this weekend have launched a radio station on Mixcloud.
I’ve joined in and will be hosting a monthly Unhappy Hour show of sad songs and soothing calmness.
Spent yesterday slowly producing this show for you, which is designed as a shadowy back drop to your day or a hug in your headphones (listen on-demand wherever you like with the free Mixcloud app).
This two hour show is intended to be an antidote to the so-called ‘Sunday scaries’. There’s a segment in tribute to Fletch from Depeche Mode, three melancholic covers to crawl under, and one of my favourite new artists Julia-Sophie.

Nice one! I've got some Depeche Mode on my show tomorrow, as well as Cathal Coughlan too. However, not going to spam this post with an advert, just wanted to say I love the list and will be streaming today! Can't wait to listen.
