Last Week’s Jams (9.5 – 9.8)

Just because we took Monday off last week, it didn’t mean we were taking it easy; I think I posted 11 things in one day, simply because there’s been so much great jams to get turned onto. Austin had tons of representation with TVs Daniel, Motorsports, Friday Boys, DAIISTAR and Feeling Small, but my own love for Spanish-language pop was made all the better with tunes from Melenas and Mint Field coming our way. Teenage Tom Petties were back for the attack, with a new album announcement. Plus, there’s some reissue news with Kath Bloom and Single Bullet Theory getting coverage. So yeah, music! Whoohoo!

Carre Share Live Turn Down the Choir Video

This week’s already been a bit strange, what with me going nuts and posting 11 songs in one day, so why not make you indulge a bit more here by spending more time with this cinematic constructionist pop from LA act Carre. Recorded live at the Forge, this song just continues to blow me away, particularly as it kind of erupts into this rapturous bit of organic pop music. It begins in an electronic realm, not too far off from where the likes of SURVIVE might dwell, but then it bursts forth with vocals and electronic drum work, all before erupting in this sporadic shudder of electronics. A shorter version of this tune came about in 2021, but this newer version has the band fully invested in their explorative tendencies.
