Last Week’s Jams (2.20 – 2.24)

Even after taking off Monday, we managed to get tons of coverage out there. I was stoked to hear that new Cindy song that I had been promised late last year. RayRay started pushing some of our SXSW introductions out with Pendant and Orions Belte. A handful of Austin acts tossed out new tunes, so check in on Hallo, Space Tan and Transy Warhol…a few who will be playing our just announced ATH vs SOTO SXSW Party. Plus, I got a bonus add by getting an excuse to post a little Braid to this site, on top of including my favorite releases of the week for streaming purposes. Get at it below.

Cruush Share Stick in the Mud

We get sent a lot of songs during the day and very few will make me pause and start it over like this new one called “Stick in the Mud” from Manchester based cruush. Some may immediately call this shoegaze, which I guess it is, but it’s also super sludgy and dark and just downright nasty at times with the deep, vibrating sounds. I am loving the subtle heaviness of this track today.

Cruush will be releasing a debut EP entitled Wishful Thinker on April 14th via Heist or Hit.
