Last Week’s Jams (8.7 – 8.11)

Leave a comment

Admittedly, we might have outdone ourselves last week; I’m fairly certain I’m the one to blame. Somehow, we tossed up 40 songs, though a few are unavailable in the streaming sites, so you’ve only got 38 tracks on this week’s playlist. There’s a ton of Austin stuff, with new music from Daiistar, Semihelix, Half Dream and more…obligatory A Giant Dog is in there and such. Plus, still continuously impressed by the magic that is Prewn. Oh, and Australia’s buzzing at the moment, and their music isn’t half-bad either, with new tracks from the Small Intestines and Soft Covers being considered as must listens. So, if you’ve got an hour or two to kill…go on and stream!

Bobsled Team Drop Analita Single

Having taken some time off to sit back and work on new music, Belfast’s Bobsled Team are back with their first it of new music since 2021’s The Colours Blur. The duo don’t waste any time here trying to get their hooks in you, entering on the back of a bounding drum roll that pushes you right into the joyous vocal intro. Really, all they need are these vocals; the song soars as the vocals intertwine, then overlap, all the while rising and falling to meet up with the rhythm. This song just exudes energy, so turn it up and indulge your sweet tooth!

Bops of the Week: July 5th – 9th

Here we are on another Monday, about halfway through the musical calendar, and while I should probably be working on one of those magically meaningless “Midway Best Of,” I feel like I’d be letting down our friends if we didn’t do our wrap-up of the goods from last week. Honestly, and I won’t throw out names, but there are some jams that would certainly make my best of the year list…one in particular. Can you guess it? Also, some of the new stuff by Love, Burns and Normil Hawaiians isn’t streaming, so I linked you to some of their other work you might enjoy. Mostly, it’s Monday, and I like to make this playlist for my friend Marc, so he doesn’t have to read anything and just gets music. Happy Monday folks!

Bobsled Team Share Can You Stay

It’s Friday release day, and one of those albums that drops is The Colours Blur from Belfast duo Bobsled Team. Listening through, you get the sense that the band have definitely been stepping in line with the recent dream pop vibes sweeping the indiesphere. But, what I like in their craft is the way they kind of add this new old level, something they ascribe to Sonic Youth, but to me feels like Broken Social Scene. There’s this joyous vibrancy that combines melody and wildness, particularly when you get to this song’s chorus. It’s definitely a sound that has me ready to spend this rainy morning listening to The Colours Blur on repeat.
