Last Week in Music, Today

Everyone always be trying to wrap up the week with their “Week in Music,” but we’re a little lazier, plus we figured you wanted to slow start your Monday, so why not do it by checking out what we were jamming to last week. So, we’ve put all the singles, plus a few other things we were loving in the mix. That way, you can sit back and just enjoy a fun playlist…and if you weren’t in on it, jump back and see what we had to say. Or don’t. Either way, you can now start your day with this hip playlist. We kick it off with the latest from Los Esplifs, who drop their Estraik Back LP tomorrow for 4/20.

New Track from Helvetia

When I first got the email with this new track from Helvetia, I was immediately drawn to the band’s participation with Papercuts, one of my favorite acts.  Now, while I can definitely see some similarities in regards to how songs slowly build before reaching their climax, this group doesn’t seem to have the same somber tones, instead offering up a bit of light through that Pacific Northwest rainy weather.  The group will be releasing their new record, On the Lam, on April 12th via The Static Cult Label. Going off this single, it’s going to be a trickling affair full of harmonies meant to undermine your soul, forcing in a bit of pleasure and thoughtfulness.
