The Popdose New Music Review for June 2022 sees some familiar ’80s-era artists releasing new music. The Fixx, Simple Minds, and even Kate Bush is back!

June is also Pride Month, and Popdose writer Keith Creighton talks about upcoming album releases from Muna and Hayley Kiyoko. Planet LP Host Ted Asregadoo talks about the British rock/dance band Foals and their connection to The Edmund Fitzgerald (the freighter that sank in Lake Superior in 1975 after being caught in a powerful storm).

However, the big chitty chatty of this episode takes Ted and Keith into the upside down world of Kate Bush’s “The Ninth Wave” — Kate’s album side conceptual piece on her 1985 album, Hounds of Love. In their conversation, Ted and Keith reference a blog post that really went deep into analyzing “The Ninth Wave.” Well, here’s the link to that post.
