Last Week’s Jams (6.5 – 6.9)

Leave a comment

When summer hits, there seems to be an infinite amount of music bouncing about these parts, particularly in the Austin scene, as we saw this last week. We had new album announcements from A Giant Dog and Jordan Moser, new singles from Cast of Thousands, Marry Cherry and Genuine Leather; BLK ODYYSY also dropped an album. But, there was still plenty of music outside of Austin we loved, like new stuff from Gaadge, Wombo and Your Heart Breaks. Tons of music to absorb below, so feel free to indulge in all stuff you might have missed.

Certain Times Share Spectral, Release Desire

Leave a comment

I have made sure you were more than aware of Desire, the brand new LP from Brooklyn’s Certain Times; today is the actual release day, so we’re celebrating by offering a glimpse of another tune, “Spectral.” When listening through the whole of the record, the band’s brand of synth pop plays with the contrast between the dark and playful sides of the genre, with this new single living more in the darkened side, slowed down by the pulse of the tune. You can see this juxtaposed with a track like “Power,” which holds this incredible bounce that pulses and grooves; it’s like Sleigh Bells, but good! All of Desire is filled with tunes bouncing back and forth with catchy groves and textured synth work, so stream the whole thing HERE, or grab it from Double Phantom Records.

It was a busy week to start, then as usual at this time of year, I teetered out with our coverage; I blame the fact that I stayed up late to catch a great set from En Attendant Ana. We covered a lot of territory, bringing in an old school song from Heavenly, but with a new video to celebrate. Austin got some love with another great Feeling Small tune, plus some bonus Being Dead coverage popping up in there. ATH faves Melenas announced a new record, so really, we had an all out awesome week on our end. Feel free to stop in and check out what we had going.

Certain Times Drop Lose Control Single

Certain Times have been popping up on ATH quite a bit, with their album Desire slated for release in just over a month here. Today, the band share this heavy-hitter, featuring this thumping rhythmic bounce that I couldn’t quite get out of my head. It seems so simple, just a quick thumping punch, giving the song this driving nature that allows the vocals to soar in and out, some spoken, some sung in dramatic fashion. That pulsing beat never fades, even leaving room for some playful vocal hooks to run the song down to its closing moments. If you’re digging, Desire will be out June 9th via Double Phantom.

Looking back at last week, there was tons of really great stuff out there, and admittedly, there are a few things we just didn’t have time to get to on our end. But, stoked for Austin, as there was great new music from Being Dead, Transy Warhol, Holy Wire and new project Feeling Small. My favorite track from the most recent Blues Laywer LP got a video treatment, so I had to have that one out. RayRay covered that huge banger from Night Beats, who will be in town for Psych Fest. And, one of my favorite SXSW acts Snooper announced their new LP too, so you get a bunch of winning hits!

Certain Times Share Today Tomorrow Always

The husband and wife duo Certain Times have deep ties to the Atlanta music scene, but as they’re currently residing in New York, they’re likely to encounter a bit more anxiety; it’s hard to ignore it just stepping out the door, but its all how you cope with it that makes you a New Yorker I reckon. So, what do two musicians do other than dive into writing music to cope with those anxieties and their new surroundings? You’ll hear a fairly cathartic formula here, blasting synth stabs to line up with the punch of the vocal work. There’s some textural vocal layerings as well, adding an extra layer of depth as they build a more complex vibe in the electronic pop realm. The duo will release Desire on June 9th via Double Phantom Records.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (9.26 – 9.30)

Hitting our stride last week, or so it seemed. We wrapped up the week streaming tons of records we’d been jamming, plus new stuff out on Friday from Gold Star, Midwestern Medicine, Matching Outfits and more. Personally, I got stuck on that Melby tune, wondering what it would take to make them huge in the US. And, since we got to spin some records, we’ve also got some upbeat numbers sent our way by Fujiya & Miyagi, Certain Times and No Zu. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone, so like us, its all over the place. Happy Monday.

Certain Times Drop Power Video

If, like me, this Tuesday feels strangely like a Monday, then you need a definite pick me up, something that can put that bounce in the rest of your day. Well, might I suggest trying on this new track from Certain Times. This song is the A-side to their brand new single, and it has this heavy dance vibe, akin to the likes of Junior Boys, driving these punch beats through the speaker while the listener seeks out some melodic bits. Caitlin’s vocals on this one have a nice little sparkle too, and in a faint way, have this bit of disco enthusiasm shining through, giving off this sort of timelessness that will have you spinning in circles while you twirl about your pad relishing the joy running through your ears. Keep an eye out as they should have an LP ready for their label Double Phantom in the very near future!
