Last Week’s Jams, Today (2.7 – 2.11)

Leave a comment

Jumping into this week by looking back at last week, in the most uncool fashion, using a Spotify playlist; the world’s probably going to stop dead right there. But, last week had some rad tunes, with friends Half Dream and Squiggles both jumping in with new tunes for us. Plus, we got to revisit some recents releases from Tat Songs and The High Water Marks. And ultimately, got to meet some new faces, at least to me, like Sooner and Erasers. But, I’m starting it off with that super rad Pachyman jam, so sit back and get grooving into your Monday.

Loops & Loops Share Hate Finds a Way

Man, I’ve been hyping Loops & Loops over the last few months with no shame at all, but this new tune really blows it all away. At times it feels like the sort of perfect guitar pop you’d get from a Dean Wareham penned tune, which I consider the highest form of praise. Then, hitting the chorus, you get a touch more direct pop punk punch, quickly driving the melody right to the ears. It’s a fuzzy little tune, hitting all the right notes as it goes through, and I’ll be honest, I can’t stop pressing play again and again. Give Loops & Loops a try, I beg you.

Well, I will admit, there were so many songs last week that I loved that I may have gotten a touch carried away. I mean that new Methyl Ethyl with Stella Donnelly is a banger, plus new stuff from our friends in Blushing and the Reds Pinks and Purples! We even got to premiere some sweet tunes that only exist in special places, like our site, namely the latest from Yea-Ming and the Rumors and Good Grief. So, browse through this hour of tunes, and I beg you to find a bad one in there. You can’t! I’ll try to keep up the momentum this week!

 

Loops & Loops Share Just Be You

I’m not sure whether its Peter Bogolub’s songwriting, or the thematic nature of this tune that hits home to a middle school teacher, but the latest from Loops & Loops is definitely a special ditty. I love how you almost immediately get access to the emotional portal that’s built in the strumming of guitars. Plus, there’s this atmospheric push from the background that seems to carry the heavy-weighted vocal notes, lifting them to the top of the mix so you can devour them as little pieces of delightful ear candy. If ever there was a song that taught you just to love yourself as you are, well, I hope its this one because it absolutely rules.

Loops & Loops Share Doesn’t Matter

A few weeks ago we ran a new track from Peter Bogolub’s project Loops & Loops, and now I’ve got another track you might enjoy today. This one has a similar guitar that creates this sort of openness, but instead of letting the song meander into the sonic landscape, Bogolub employs catchy beats on loop with handclaps to really pull on the listener’s need for fun. There’s a slight little speed pick up in the chorus that serves to give the song that perfect wrinkle that elevates it above a lot of other lo-fi bedroom pop of the moment…I mean, for me anyways.

Monday’s always seem perfect for reflection, for wistful longing after restful weekends. So, why not start our musical journey this week with this track from Loops & Loops seems to fit the typical case of the Mondays. As it opens, there’s a huge expanse, waiting to be filled by songwriter Peter Bogolub, who softens the track’s dreamy nature with his voice. When we turn to the chorus, we get to feel the noise of the week entering the picture by way of distorted walls of noise shattering the distance. All in all, we get to begin our week with the perfect amount of balance here, so be sure to set your week straight by listening below.
