Tonight’s “Dark Wave” — the Sunday night “darker side of alternative” show on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave — featured a number of welcome detours, lesser-played tracks from the program’s regular crop of artists, including The Church’s “Tantalized,” Depeche Mode’s “Nothing” and Concrete Blonde’s “Darkening of the Light.” Plus, for some reason, not one but two tracks by Tool spinoff Puscifer. Go figure.
“Dark Wave” airs Sundays from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern/7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pacific.
