Last Week’s Jams, Today (1.24 – 1.28)
It’s always great to start out the week by looking back upon the week that was, and while perhaps not an abundance of tunes like there was the previous week, there was definitely great musical news. Papercuts announced a new LP, with two new songs from the record, and both are here for fun below! Plus, Finnish outfit Rules dropped a new single, and I just can’t stop raving about Lewsberg and Apollo Ghosts. And somehow it all gets wrapped up with a new Ducks Ltd single? I’ll take it. Revisit last week with us!
There’s not too much information out there on Gato Blanco other than the artist working as a producer to craft some heavy post-punk vibes. Musically, on the latest single, the song’s got this definite darkness drawing from the shadowy side of post punk. What I found as a nice little twist was the way the vocals seem to kind of have this melodic resonance in their delivery. It sort of gives the tune this natural uneasiness, creating a tension that brings your ear to focus on one element or the other, then somehow it all melds together in your brain. Fun way to start things off this week.
