Islands, My Brightest Diamond, YACHT on Radio Comp

Austin, TX radio station KVRX has just released a compilation featuring exclusive live performances at its Local Live studios from My Brightest Diamond, Islands (covering the Kinks), Blitzen Trapper, YACHT, Voxtrot side project Sparrow House, Cyann & Ben, the Veils (covering Bruce Springsteen), Shapes and Sizes, Thee More Shallows, and many more.

The compilation is called Technicolor Yawn, and unlike most radio-related releases of its ilk, it comes as a two-disc set with a DVD of an entirely different set of performances. Profits from Technicolor Yawn sales benefit the station, and you can purchase the CD/DVD package here.
