Last Week’s Jams (2.13 – 2.17)

We’re not sure if you’re off or not for President’s Day, so we wanted to make sure those stuck in an office, or just browsing the Internet at home caught on to what we dished out last week! Ryan premiered a fresh track from Slow Fiction, plus he was able to get some SXSW coverage up via interviews with Dream, Ivory and Free Range. I was stoked to hear our friends Lola Tried return, plus I loved that new track from Ghosts on TV; the new stuff from Dry Cleaning and Lunar Vacation wasn’t bad either. Plus, there were lots of weirdo bits in between like Monde UFO and Swim Camp too! Oh, and did you see the IT Department was back on the grind with some Orbital coverage? Yep, stream away friends.

 

Coral Grief Share New Single from Daydrops EP

Perhaps you caught up with this one yesterday, but here’s a reminder of the musical journey you get to take with Seattle’s Coral Grief. Musically, the band are toying with a lot of the mannerisms in the post-punk circles of late, making it their own as they build in more billowing layers. The rhythms are sharp and rolling, punctuated by snappy fills and rolls, while the guitar is given permission to map its own course, knifing this way and that through the soundscape. Lena Farr-Morrissey allows for her voice to operate as the gravitational center, with everything swirling around her dreamy tones. Just another reason to keep the Daydrops EP on your radar; it’s out next Friday via Den Tapes.

Coral Grief Share Crumble Single

As you settle into the day, its always nice to have something that lets you take on more of that contemplative mood, like this track from Seattle’s Coral Grief. The song has this prominent heartbeat, pulsing beneath the mix in matching step with a snare hit to really let your mind focus on the guitars and vocals. In the guitars, you get that crisp jangling that fades into the air, sort of like Spring showers falling intermittently all around you. Lena Farr-Morrissey has this wondrous voice, it kind of seems like its stretching itself around every nook and cranny of the track, but for my basic bitch ears, I couldn’t hear a place where she went wrong. You’ll find this tune on the group’s self-titled EP, which is out on May 14th.
