Last Week’s Jams (1.27 – 1.31)

Well, the year’s fully in swing, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of music we got to listen to, though we only managed to write about a mere 25+ tracks and albums. I’ll cop to the fact that the end of the week was the highlight, hitting with a new Lone Striker single on the same day we got The Laughing Chimes album out there. Buffet Lunch continued to flex their musicianship, while the Rishis offered a brand single from their next LP. New Tunde Adebimpe and La Securite had us on the trends, but in the end, I was just glad to hear new stuff from our friends in Seasonal Falls. What will be your favorite jam of last week?

Avery Friedman Announces Debut LP

I’ll cop to the fact that it took me a minute to catch onto this Avery Friedman tune; it trickles in carefully, with a faint heartbeat and ethereal vocals entering from behind. When the vocals came in, I was intrigued, and a few seconds later, the song completely connects, adding in a bit of drum work as things unfold. In and of itself, you’d be clear to say, “sure, but I’ve heard it before,” and perhaps that’s fair. But, at the 1:38 mark, there’s this beautiful feedback buzz coursing through, and then the bottom falls out, hurtling you into this beautiful dreamland of pop magnificence. It’s a reminder that the best things come to those who wait, and if you wait until April 18th, you can grab New Thing from Friedman’s label Audio Antihero.
