Last Week’s Jams (10.7 – 10.11)

Leave a comment

We crushed the coverage last week; we had some ACL coverage as well as some Sigur Ros notes from their Austin show. But, we also covered a solid 28 tracks, 26 of which made the cut on our Last Week’s Jams (the new Boyracer and Rocky Lorelei can only be found on the site). A new track from the Serfs is still living rent-free in my brain, while I discovered just how much I’m enjoying Kim Deal‘s new solo stuff. That doesn’t even scratch the surface, as there were several Texas’ acts like Pets and Trauma Ray getting some new jams out. I will admit, perhaps I overdid it, but eh, you love the new stuff right? Cool. Stream it then.

The lads in Cistern aren’t wasting any time in their songwriting process, which I quite appreciate; they released Head Full of Questions barely a year ago, and now they’ve announced New Standard, a fresh LP due in November. They offer up an angular post-punk nod here, though there’s a lot of energy, where the song almost seems to move beyond the punk boundaries into other territories, hitting the highest notes with punches of energy, only to tug it all back for a little breakdown…then they rush right back off for their buoyant rush of blood, swinging in full fashion, much like you’d expect from a pendulum. Look for New Standard via Meat Machine on November 22nd.
