New music including Local Natives, Billie Eilish, Sam Fender and Jack White on this week’s West Of The Fields podcast

I continued exploring recent releases from Beabadoobee, The Smile, HAAi, Grace Ives, Muna, Interpol and Viagra Boys on the show this week, while the retro alternative set featured some early ’80s “mutant disco,” some art-pop including Broadcast and Stereolab, and a block of great tunes heard as pre-show music during my recent outing to see Beach House in Boston (sorry to brag!).
