Last Week’s Jams (6.5 – 6.9)

When summer hits, there seems to be an infinite amount of music bouncing about these parts, particularly in the Austin scene, as we saw this last week. We had new album announcements from A Giant Dog and Jordan Moser, new singles from Cast of Thousands, Marry Cherry and Genuine Leather; BLK ODYYSY also dropped an album. But, there was still plenty of music outside of Austin we loved, like new stuff from Gaadge, Wombo and Your Heart Breaks. Tons of music to absorb below, so feel free to indulge in all stuff you might have missed.

American Trappist Share Nobody’s Laughing, Drop Poison Reverse

Today is the day you can immerse yourself in the splendor of the latest LP from Philly’s American Trappist, offering up a solemn bit of slowcore. I love all the space the band leave in this song, letting the emotion just drop through the speakers and seep into your skin. There’s something about it that reminds me of Mazzy Star in the vocals, even with a male lead as opposed to Hope; it has something to do with the way the notes just kind of hang in the air, floating like bubbles, waiting to pop as the melody hits your ears. Give Poison Reverse a listen and let the slow burn start your weekend.
