Last Week’s Jams (11.11 – 11.15)

After a fairly slow week, we hit it hard this week, bringing you a nice collection of great tunes, as we’re focused on that side while everyone else is scrambling to wrap up their year end lists. There was a heavy Austin contingent, particularly as we announced we’ll be dropping the new EP from Fantastic Purple Spots; Austin also brought us new stuff from Variety, Burgess Meredith, David Israel, and Being Dead. The Laughing Chimes made us realize that there’s still time left in 2024 for brilliant pop music, while Feeling Figures popped in with a video to remind us how great their last LP was. And, all of it kicks off with a great introduction to Lone Striker. Little bit of this, little bit of that, little bit of Dwight Yoakam.

 

Decant Release Rest

Went a little aggressive this morning, just trying to gather my energy here, but let’s settle with this new single from Decant. It’s a gentle number, sort of like a palate cleanser before you move into your morning routine. It opens with a bright vocal performance, sort of billowing across the front of the mix, pleasantly washing across. Layered backing vocals begin to add texture and depth to the tune, then are met by strings as the track moves into its second movement. The vocals are a little less angelic in the latter half, though still powerfully moving, especially when aided by the bending string notes that add a solemness to the song.
