This week's podcast episode spotlights San Francisco's Loquat, a quintet that creates catchy, melodic indie pop with a mix of electronic and traditional rock sounds. In 2005, the band released It's Yours To Keep, a full length debut that continues to win new fans with its seductively catchy songs. In the three years the band has been working on their latest album, their live shows have continued to please crowds, including a set at the Bay Area Takeover that remains one of our South by Southwest highlights. Today, the wait for Loquat's latest is over, with the release of Secrets of the Sea on Talking House Records.

We sat down with members of Loquat a few months ago, discussing the long creative process behind the new album and the band's plans now that it's out. We're pleased to include four songs from Secrets of the Sea along with excerpts from that conversation.

Upcoming Shows:
