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!

Blue Zero Prep Confusion EP

It’s weird when folks are already whispering about year end lists and what not, when I’m still getting ready for the rad tunes coming out this week, like the new EP from Blue Zero. They’re delivering a ripping alt-rock sound, packaged in a modern indie grab bag. Discordant notes stab at the speakers instantly, ringing sharply as the vocals crawl through a pit of mud. Then the tune erupts into this heavy noisy chorus, weaving male and female vocals to craft this delicious melody that allows just a glimmer of light to peak behind the darkened clouds. Swirling noise and velvety vocal touches make up their latest track…so keep an eye out of for their Confusion EP tomorrow.
