Last Week’s Jams (2.12 – 2.16)

Sorry for taking off yesterday, but we’ll be honest, this site’s run by folks in the education field, so when we’re granted a rare day off mid-semester, you better believe we’re hanging with our families! But, here I am with hopefully a link to last week to set you up for this week. We covered perhaps too much music last week, getting 28 songs on the mark, and I was super stoked to hear that both Parsnip and Mammoth Penguins were back in business…with new albums heading our way. Plus, Kindsight gave us another sparkling single from their forthcoming LP via Rama Lama Records. I’m in on new Bolis Pupul, so we’ve got that, plus Unwed Sailor have a new release…there is maybe too much new stuff out there! Just take a listen!

Choo Choo la Rouge Announce the Sunshine State

Choo Choo la Rouge isn’t a band that I’m altogether familiar with, though I think I’ll aim to rectify that now that I’m indulging in their fresh single…as I hope you do. Through and through, this is a pop ballad, though strung together with a rolling percussive stomp and a nice acoustic strum. To me, it doesn’t feel too far off from what you might expect from a Jeff Tweedy solo outing, the strum and vocals pushed way out front in charming fashion, while an electronic piano gets to have its say in the absent moments sprinkled throughout. Give this track a listen; The Sunshine State is out April 5th via Kiam Records.
