Preview EoB, Hamilton Leithauser, Wolf Parade, and more.

The Big Beat with Ryan Arnold

Highlights from this week’s show include EoB - the long awaited solo project from Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien, Hamilton Leithauser, Smoke Fairies, and Big Beat Chicago Artist of the Week Deanna Devore. Check out the entire playlist below.

Thanks for listening to XRT and the Big Beat. Check out more new music every Thursday night at 9:00 pm on New Noise at Nine. I’m into new music so much that they give me two shows a week to play some of the coolest music for you. Support the artists you hear on WXRT by catching a live show and buying their music from, whenever you can, a local, independent, or a family-owned music store. While you’re at it, tell someone who digs music the way you and I dig music to tune into XRT!

Connect with me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. My handle on all three of ‘em is RyanArnoldRocks.

Your pal,-Ryan A.
