Last Week’s Jams (12.2 – 12.6)

In a world where folks are rushing to put out their year end lists, so you can debate their tastes, I’m just over here putting out songs with my bud RayRay. We covered a surprising 21 new songs last week, and 22 if you included a tune that’s not on any of the DSPs. Tons of rad Austin stuff like Strange Lot, Gus Baldwin, Lunar Gold…and of course the ATH Records’ own Fantastic Purple Spots. New music from FACS and Sprouts made my week complete, though I also found some soft spots in there you can dig through on the site. Don’t forget to also check out our Rock n’ Recipes with Sasha Bell of the Ladybug Transistor, just in time for their little tour and reissue! We also got to premiere a brand new Gaytheist tune worth your time!

Ciao Malz Releases Gold Rush

Malia DeLaCruz and her project Ciao Malz might not be a household name just yet, but I think the latest single from her forthcoming EP displays a lot of risks within the confines of the songwriter genre. Claiming interests that are equal parts and Men I Trust, there’s definitely a bit of a pop hipness in the way Malia spins some of her syllable work; it reminds me of a young Amber Coffman, though the relaxed casualness in her performance sort of renders it an anomaly in the current scene. Really think you’re going to want to spend time with Safe Then Sorry, which drops today via Audio Antihero.
