Dandelion Wine are an ethereal electro-folk band from Naarm/Melbourne, who combine medieval and folk instruments with electronic beats and waves of textured guitars, mixed with celestial vocals. Equally at home lulling audiences in a theatre or making them dance at outdoor festivals, the band have also travelled extensilvelly across Australia, Europe, UK, Japan, and more.

This week's PBS Feature Album is The Bad Fire, the eleventh album by Scottish rock band Mogwai.

Named after a working-class Glaswegian term for Hell, The Bad Fire reflects the difficult time that members of the band were going through at the time of writing. The music of Mogwai is a difficult thing to describe, but an easy thing to experience. At punishing volume, it can annihilate your body, leaving you as little more than a head which should by rights fall helplessly to the ground.
