Last Week’s Jams (7.8 – 7.12)

After a brief vacation, I apparently over-indulged while RayRay was out on the town, hitting up nearly 30+ songs, and some of those, like the premiere we ran for legendary Refrigerator, aren’t even on streaming platforms, so you have to go find em’ on the site! Austin had a big week, with acts like Club Coma, Liz Burrito, Voxtrot, Font and Letting Up Despite Great Faults throwing out some new jams. But, don’t think San Francisco/Oakland were game for being overshadowed, with Tony Jay, Sad Eyed Beatniks, Chime School, Fake Fruit and Parallel all dropping new jams. So, this is nearly 2 hours of really really great music, so sit back, press play, and escape the madness, albeit for a brief moment.

Anders Jornesten Shares On the Outskirts of Town

Admittedly, I was surprised to hear this new single from Anders Jornesten and realize the songwriter was from Sweden (name aside of course); his sound feels like something you’d find at any number of folk festivals here in the States. For me, the songwriting was solid as it gets, but the vocal inflections that were slight carried the song through my ears. I loved the way the pitch kind of has this hiccup in it when he delivers “on the outskirts of town,” with the word “town” yanking at my heart in its curl. If you’re seeking a striking voice to start your Monday, then press play below.
