Last Week’s Jams (10.27 – 10.31)

During this time of the year, there’s slim pickings in terms of what’s out there, as labels and bands prepare to kind of whole up for the Winter, but we still have a really solid collection of jams for you. For starters, B. Gray and I met long, long ago at a Twilight Sad show at the OG Emos here in Austin (not the blasphemous new spot), so their new song gets precedent to show our love. We were really stoked to see our Internet pal Matt Kivel, currently of Austin, drop a single form his forthcoming LP, so that, of course, shows up. Then there’s just quality hit after hit, with Diles Que No Maten and Twin Shadow and Vilde and Devin Shaffer (sorry for the polysyndeton). There’s a little bit for you all!

New Music from Basavriuk

When I first put on this single from Puerto Rico’s Basavriuk, the natural bounce was what drew me in; the jangle of guitar notes curling around wasn’t too shabby either, blending in seamlessly with my typical listening rotation. Then, the vocals pulled at me; they’re way down in the mix, almost as if they’re drowning beneath the melodic punch. I loved how they hid in there, careful to add another layer of brightness to the song’s spring, though done in a fashion that simultaneously hangs onto the dark tones of the guitars and washes of keyboard. A fun little pop ditty to get under your skin.
