The four-song set, released by the Seattle non-commercial radio station on April 6, is heavy on cuts from Sobs’ 2022 album ‘Air Guitar’ (which NME named one of the year’s best Asian albums) – though the band also played ‘Astronomy’ from their 2018 debut album ‘Telltale Signs’.

For Sobs guitarist Jared Lim, this was his second time in the KEXP studio, as he’d performed in the studio last year with the band Subsonic Eye. Watch Sobs’ set and the band’s interview with host Cheryl Waters about their love of pop music, the creation of ‘Air Guitar’, vocalist Celine Autumn’s solo project Cayenne and more here:

The release of the KEXP set coincided with the announcement of Sobs’ Japan tour in June.
