Last Week’s Jams (6.17 – 6.21)

Leave a comment

What started off as a slow week quickly hit hard once the Softies announced their return to the scene after a few decades away. While that may have overshadowed my personal adoration, there was still plenty of cool things to jam out to, or so I thought. The Teenage Tom Petties take on a power pop version of doo-wop, while Chime School announced what seems to be the purest of jangle pop record ever to exist. We had some outsider stuff too that I was super into, like the new Robber Robber single…plus some 7 degrees of Austin made easy with new music from Blood and Lunar Vacation. And, if you need sweet pop feels, try out the new 7ebra or Emma Russack jams. All in all, some great new finds for you here, if you’ll only press play.

7ebra Shares Daybreak

Leave a comment

Not too long ago, 7ebra returned with the masterfully infectious “Normal Song,” their first new music since releasing Bird Hour; it had this incredible missing link between modern pop and Broadcast. Today, we get the other track from that 7″, with this newer track offering up a brew of slow-burning organ notes and drifting vocal melodies. It’s clear that the two have continued building their vocal interplay, which shines on this one, letting guitar notes wrap around each little note, with a faint heartbeat working as the main beat. You’ll get to hear this song on repeat if you grab a copy of the new Normal Song/Daybreak 7″, out July 5th via PNKSLM.

What a wild and crazy week that was. Tons of music, and tons of great albums. We suggested you listen to the latest LPs from Lunchbox, Amy O, Gregor and Stephen’s Shore, among others…so go back and revisit those records if you’re into full-length listens. But, if not, some of our favorite acts popped up after a bit of an absence; there was new stuff from both Quivers and Emma Russack, so the Aussie contingent was representing with new music. This My Best Unbeaten Brother track that opens up the playlist is a ripper, but don’t you dare skip beyond new Yea-Ming or Cats of Transnistria. Just a bunch of great jams for you to enjoy, so just get right to it!

7ebra Release Normal Song

Leave a comment

It hasn’t been too long since 7ebra released their Bird Hour LP, followed by several great sets in America during SXSW in 2023. Today, they return with the A-side to their new Normal Song/Daybreak 7″ for PNK SLM. You enter this track via a synthetic wash working beneath a dangling guitar note; then handclaps sound and that groove gets replaced by a bob-and-weave bass line and Inez’s vocals. But, it’s not just the bass working to give you a rhythmic pulse, as they employ a sampled beat that elevates the song giving it instant pop sensibility that eventually unfurls into this buzz that gives the song this rapturous joy that you won’t be able to escape. New 7″ drops on July 5th.

There was a ton of great music dropping last week, which seems to be the norm for this Spring…not that we mind one bit. I tried to give some love to our Austin friends like Jana Horn and Letting Up Despite Great Faults, who both dropped new releases…and new tunes from Batty Jr. and Born Twins too, so keeping the ATX alive. It was good to hear new stuff from Estonia’s Pia Fraus, who’ve always crafted great landscape shoegaze. New stuff from Cindy and Beach Fossils wasn’t a bad way to slide into the week either, but we closed it out with a fun feature between My Favorite and Holy Wire. Check it all out.

7ebra Release Done with the Day Video

When I caught 7ebra during SXSW part of their charm was the dynamic between the twins; I hadn’t really heard anything aside from the lead single, so the performance was more impacting. But, with a new single here, I’m starting to realize what my subconscious already knew. When you press play below, the song seems to begin fairly simply, a vocal and a strum pushing on; there are some slight backing vocals too. Just as you start to settle in, the duo begin to add in their little textural flourishes like the notes from the keys hiding just beneath. A steadied beat enters too, and the whole song begins to swell and wrap around you, as if you’re an insect caught in a web, with the band playing the role of the spider, wrapping you in their silky pop. Need to be enchanted? Bird Hour is out May 5th via PNK SLM.

For some reason I felt like we were nursing a SXSW hangover, just a week later than normal. But, in all that, still found tons of great tunes to write about and share. Good to see personal faves like Lachlan Denton and Greg Mendez popping up (with that Greg tune getting tons of love), plus some videos from the likes of Low Praise and 7ebra gave us a chance to revisit some singles we’d been keeping an eye on. Also, some local love for Troller and Houston’s Alien Eyelid, so trying to keep it Texas ya’ll. Stream on!
