They were a last minute replacement in 2010 and an airline misplacing their gig forced the band to play the far-too-small Yeti stag…
Over the past few years, we've tried to make KEXP videos not only fun to watch but also instantly recognizable. But when artists and other guests visit our actual studio space and see the dark and starry walls, they almost always say, "Wow, this is much smaller than it looks!" Charming as it may be…

It's truly mind-boggling that It's Album Time is the first record we've seen from Todd Terje. If you're fond of disco, house, and easy grooving summer dance tracks, you've probably been putting Terje on your afternoon mixes for years in one way or another.
