Last Week’s Jams (4.3 – 4.7)

There was a ton of great music dropping last week, which seems to be the norm for this Spring…not that we mind one bit. I tried to give some love to our Austin friends like Jana Horn and Letting Up Despite Great Faults, who both dropped new releases…and new tunes from Batty Jr. and Born Twins too, so keeping the ATX alive. It was good to hear new stuff from Estonia’s Pia Fraus, who’ve always crafted great landscape shoegaze. New stuff from Cindy and Beach Fossils wasn’t a bad way to slide into the week either, but we closed it out with a fun feature between My Favorite and Holy Wire. Check it all out.

Born Twins Share Pity Party Single

So this track from Born Twins has been bouncing about for a few weeks, and I’m just now getting on top of things. The duo have spent years crafting sounds in various projects, but united together, they’re building these crafty bits of bedroom pop that I’ve found quite captivating this week. There’s something in Singer Mayberry’s performance that feels like old Jenny Lewis, sort of that coy playfulness where you feel as if she’s taunting you atop a steady beat. A close ear will hear a rising guitar cut through to allow the song to swell into noisier territory, though it never over-indulges, bringing about the perfect pop balance. If you’re digging, the band will release Novelas Cortas on May 5th.
