Last Week’s Jams (4.1 – 4.5)

Leave a comment

New music comes hard and heavy during the Spring months, as its the perfect time to set up summer releases and tours. We tried to get to as much as we could, and grabbed 24 new songs for you to settle into on this Monday. New stuff from Austin’s Variety assures the band is still on the rise in my eyes. I’ve been really into the tunes from Bibi Club‘s new LP, and they throw a plot twist with some English sparkle on it; it matches up well with the dark wave from Houses of Heaven. Friends of the site like Gabriel Birnbaum, Kaspar and Snowy Band all had new work to share with the masses., plus be sure you taste the new Babehoven tune hanging out for you at the end. Press play for joy!

Babehoven Share Ella’s From Somewhere Else

Leave a comment

Admittedly, I’ve been in more of a rocking mood the last few years, but there’s something in this season that’s really made me yearn for music just like Babehoven crafted for their new record. For instance, they offer up this new single with little more than a forlorn bit of strumming, setting up the calmed brood of the vocals. Just as you think the tune will settle in under the blankets with you, the percussion kicks in, bringing just a bit more spirit to the tune, though it never loses that initial intimacy. Sounds continue to fill in from behind, continually building and at that point, you’re caught, drifting away on the tail of the song. Really excited for Water’s Here In You, dropping on April 26th.

Last Week’s Jams (3.4 – 3.8)

Last week was crazy on our end, running around trying to get all the cool songs out, not to mention trying to cover some of the SXSW stuff we’d promise to get out from artists like Bodega and Smut. Ran a few solid premieres too, so be sure to focus on Magana and House of Heaven. You’ll also find new Lunchbox, Mirrorball, Good Looks and many more. Plus, Fantastic Purple Spots dropped a video HERE, so it gave us another chance to remind you of their gifts! Stream al the hits from last week below!

Babehoven Release Lightness is Loud Video

Perhaps its because of my affection for the work of Michel Gondry, or perhaps its the all encompassing sense of wonderment this tune evokes, but I’m definitely charmed by this new Babehoven tune. Maya Bon’s voice naturally seems to carry this delicate bit of whimsy, which when invested in the folk arrangements of the band’s songs, just seems otherworldly; this is the sort of music that’s perfect for your goals of escapism. Find yourself sinking into the crafty world they’ve built for us; Water’s Here In You is out on April 26th via Double Double Whammy.

Last Week’s Jams (2.12 – 2.16)

Sorry for taking off yesterday, but we’ll be honest, this site’s run by folks in the education field, so when we’re granted a rare day off mid-semester, you better believe we’re hanging with our families! But, here I am with hopefully a link to last week to set you up for this week. We covered perhaps too much music last week, getting 28 songs on the mark, and I was super stoked to hear that both Parsnip and Mammoth Penguins were back in business…with new albums heading our way. Plus, Kindsight gave us another sparkling single from their forthcoming LP via Rama Lama Records. I’m in on new Bolis Pupul, so we’ve got that, plus Unwed Sailor have a new release…there is maybe too much new stuff out there! Just take a listen!

Babehoven Announce Water’s Here In You + Share Birdseye

Leave a comment

Perhaps its the lingering Winter weather or just great songwriting, but I’ve definitely been indulging in some really mellow stuff lately…and this fresh Babehoven fits in there perfectly. The circuitous route of the strumming kept drawing me into the tune; it’s so light and careful, filled with an emotional draw when the strings sweep in for accent marks. Maya Bon hits these certain high notes too, pushing her voice to the max, only to pull it back as the verses require a more feathered texture. This single comes with the announcement that they’ll be dropping Water’s Here In You via Double Double Whammy on April 26th.

You had new stuff from Austinites Friday Boys, Bright Light Social Hour and Wiretree, then Neutrals and Mick Love made my weekend with hits at the end of the week.

Babehoven Shares Dissociative Tally

Leave a comment

Maya Bon, aka Babehoven, set out to craft a tune that expresses her own dissociative tendencies, crafting a piece that utilizes an adjusted vocal to create this modern delirium that operates like a musical black hole that refuses to let you go. Listening through on repeat, the song has this old school slow-core feel to it, something that really just feels primal in its existence, like we’ve been stripped down to our barest existence, only to find joy in pop music. There’s a nice little twist in the song waiting for you at the end too, so don’t just nod your head in agreement, indulge in this jewel; Babehoven releases the Yellow has a Pretty Good Reputation on January 29th.
