Mammoth Penguins Return with New Single/Album
As an avowed Mammoth Penguins fan, I was over the moon finding this tune on the horizon for today. There’s something magical about Emma Kupa’s delivery, even when, she’s spelling out the lyrics as she does in the chorus on this note. Behind the vocals, the group consistently pump out no-frill pop rock, running through jangling-adjacent riffs and clever little interludes that allow them to set up the truest rock punch you’re going to encounter. I can totally picture myself in the crowd at an MP show, screaming along to every word Kupa tosses out; you won’t find more fun pop rock singalong tracks than what Mammoth Penguins offer. Happy to have them back after nearly five years since the excellent There’s No Fight We Can’t Both Win.; they release Here on May 3rd via Fika Recordings.

I really loved the new bops from Johnnie Carwash, Icarus Phoenixand Flowertown, while Ray snuck in some new Mini Trees and Acid Tongue. Plus, we tried to suggest you take listens to new LPs from Itasca, David Nance, Dead Bandit and Pylon Reenactment Society, so if anything, sample a tune here and there from the new records. Get in and drive with Last Week’s Jams.
It’s Friday, and you know what that means! Damn straight, we’re going to have some recommended albums for you! Personally, I was looking for something that would let me roll down the windows and get in the car for a long drive…and, well, depending upon where you’re driving, these tunes might do the trick. Whether you’re embarking on a late night drive across the country, stuck in traffic or just riding off into the sunset, pressing play below will have you covered!
No Guitar came out in the latter half of last year, but it seems like
