Last Week’s Jams (5.5 – 5.9)

Last week was a rather busy one on our end, and I remember Wednesday giving me headaches in terms of what all we could cover. Alas, we had to start this week’s jams coverage off with the latest from Allo Darlin‘, who announced their first LP in some time. There was definitely some post-punk vibes cooking with acts like Artificial Go and Teethe dropping super cool new tunes that I couldn’t stop playing around our little house in the burbs. Had some old regulars pop up too, like Strawberry Whiplash and Welcome Strawberry; it was a strawberry themed week I supposed. You’ll also find some super cool oddball tunes too from the likes of Kilynn Lunsford and Vov Vov! Get it all below:

Alien Boy Drop I Broke My World Video

Friday will see the release of the new Alien Boy, and it’s generating a lot of buzz across the Interwebs. When this song kicks off, there’s this smattering of swirling guitars and thundering drums, setting the tone for this huge wall of beautiful noise, leaving just enough space for the vocals to cruise through coolly. The group’s aspirations were to create something akin to great classic pop rock records, such as those from the early years of Smashing Pumpkins; they look to take that immediacy and push it to the max, cranking noise that you can revisit time and time again. Check the latest video out, and grab You Wanna Fade this Friday via Get Better Records.

Nice One From Alien Boy

Portland based group Alien Boy has slowly been growing a buzz about their debut album coming out at the end of the week. Thought I haven’t posted any of the band’s latest singles, they’ve already released a few prior to this solid jam today. This new track “I Just Can’t Feel It” blends some of the popular elements of shoegaze with a more goth-pop sound which gives it something fresh to offer. I think I shall spend the rest of the day with this song and album.

Alien Boy will release Sleeping Lessons on August 31st on Tiny Engines.
