Last Week’s Jams (9.25 – 9.29)

Leave a comment

While it seemed like a slow week, in my brain at least, there was lots of really great stuff to cover over on the site. We were happy to host the new video from Seablite, so be sure you drop in and give it a couple of looks. Plus, our Rock n’ Recipes features returned with Spain’s Melenas, who dropped their new Ahora LP on Friday. Plus, Austin was alive and kicking with new stuff from Molly Burch, Semihelix and Sun June. Seeing our old friends in Pop Filter return to the fold was just a little cherry on top of a great week of music. There’s lots more for you to find in this playlist!

Empty Nesters Share The Simphony

Leave a comment

When I saw another shoegaze email coming my way from Empty Nesters, I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant; I like the genre, don’t get me wrong, just feels like it’s becoming the new NPR-core. But, this track stuck with me at first because it has Madeline of PACKS on vocals, whose voice has drawn me to her own band’s work. Still, the song excels because of the slow approach of Eric Liao; he lets the space get sort of filled with those distorted pieces, letting you sit with them for a bit, rather than bash you in the face again and again with wave after wave of abrasive noise. And, in that lush setting, Madeline’s voice is sublime, paired up with Liao. There’s a nice little treat waiting for you at the end, so hang around!

New Track From Toro y Moi

1622061_10152296031457502_57870544_n What is there to say about Toro Y Moi? The man behind the band, Chazwick Bundick has been making indie soul for a little while now, and has put out some pretty decent records. Now he’s back with the song below, “Empty Nesters.” This is the first single from his new record, What For? that is set to come out April 7th on Carpark Records. It’s got a good funky psychedelic pop vibe to it, complete with plenty of synths raging through the whole thing as well as Bundick’s faded vocals. Take a listen.
