A weekly exploration of strange subgenres and experimental movements, Uncanny Valley compares and contrasts two records - one fresh, one classic - and grounds them in their respective musical contexts. From no wave to noise pop, future funk to freak folk, the program will shine a spotlight on left-field releases from across the world.

This week on Uncanny Valley, we sob uncontrollably to the sweet but melancholy music of Midwest Emo, featuring records from genre mainstays American Football and sonic experimenters The Brave Little Abacus. Tracks are taken from American Football's 'LP3' and The Brave Little Abacus' 2010 Bandcamp breakout 'just got back from the discomfort -- we're alright'.
