This summer, Wes’s alum and student musicians have been hard at work recording and releasing new material. From debut EPs to music videos, there’s plenty of new goodies for you to jam out to on your commute back to campus. Aural Wes contributors reviewed some of these releases and compiled them all into one jam-packed collection of summer sounds.
Meg and Adam interviewed attendees of the WESU Records Fair, April 10, 2016.

Get ZONK'd this weekend with a barrage of ZHD talent, headlined by hologram funk. Party at Ladies Night 2.0, or at a fashion party, or at Coachella EDM night at Beckham. Rock and roll with homegrown indie. Swim in cerebral word-flow.
Cozy up to acoustic tunes at Earth House on Thursday, then return to the Yurt for existential funk with Goldwash or a devotional thicket woven by Loone and Paper Bee. For an aggressive Saturday bedroom pop experience, dive into Olivia Neutron-John's razor-edged black hole of groove in the glass and steel of Zelnick Pavilion. Or, soak up the hype vibes of Montclair NJ's soulful Topaz Jones. He'll be with Yale rapper Zack Sekoff. Sprinkle in a couple of senior theses and recitals, and finish off your weekend with a cool-down lap through the WESU Record Fair Sunday afternoon.
