Cavalcade for July 12

"Cavalcade" samples new music by breakthrough artists and veterans in an eclectic grab bag that welcomes the return of Dinosaur Jr., anticipated U2 and Rolling Stones releases, and the casual alliance of Phoebe Bridgers and pals Jack Antonoff, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus.
The Cure's Robert Smith joins not only the Stones on a Foreign Tongues track ("Divine Intervention"), but also Olivia Rodrigo for a duet ("What's Wrong With Me").
Jah Wobble teams with duo Tian Qiyi on the new Mystic Liverpool collection (guess what Liverpool band gets a cross-cultural refresh here), and Railcard teams sixty-something friends for a 1960s-reverent pop confection, "Two Steps at a Time" that serves as their debut.
Guest DJ David Luster fills the first hour with world-music flavors from Turkey to Sicily, Brazil and beyond. If it's a staycation July weekend for you, "Cavalcade" will make you a world traveler for a few Sunday afternoon hours.
That's "Cavalcade," Sundays 4-7p.m. on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
