Last Week’s Jams (10.6 – 10.10)

It was a fun week of super underground jams, though I made sure to throw in some bangers from Jay Som, Joyer and Radioactivity to kind of grab at the masses! I was really excited by the return of Hadda Be, as their new post-punk jam is opening up the playlist; I likewise was stoked to see Cistern drop new of their debut album too! Caught up late to KanKan and Pocket Full of Crumbs recent split 7″, so gave both some special love this week. Be sure that you power-pop fans check in on that Trash Man tune hanging out in the middle of the playlist, but really, not a track you’ll want to skip on this, so dig in!

Dreamcoaster Drop Imaginary Reflections

This last week there were a ton of really great releases, so its hard to keep up with all the goings on, but one that I thought I’d remind you about was the latest from UK poppers, Dreamcoaster. We’re dropping the delightful lead-off track to their new LP below for you, and it sets the tone for the whole of the record; there are hints of modern sheogaze, but with a nostalgic bent that looks back upon your Sarah Records collection. There are a lot of spots throughout where Jane’s voice sounds a lot like Amelia Fletcher, which is one of the great indiepop voices, so you can’t go wrong. Look into the latter half when there’s a slight little guitar digression, adding the perfect depth to what’s in store if you grab the Imaginary Reflections LP! Stream it all below, starting with the great lead tune!

Last Week’s Jams (9.8 – 9.12)

What a week of fun tunes! I was really stoked with some of the stuff we were able to premiere on our end, such as new jams from Lola Tried and Giant Day, not to mention that incredible Morwan track all the way from Ukraine. If you haven’t checked any of those out, well, wait no more and click below. You’ll also find the best of indiepop with brand new songs from Telephone Numbers and the Cords. I was happy to hear some new music from Mary Onettes, as they’ve long been one of my go to listens. Plus, there’s never a bad day for Stella Donnelly, dropping us a preview of her new album. Don’t be afraid to let us know what you loved!

Dreamcoaster Are Dancing to Your Favourite Song

If you’re in need of a slightly dreamy guitar track that is bounding with energy and yet seducing you with these careful wails in the distance, then you’ve got to crank up the newest Dreamcoaster track. It’s a clever title track, as that pervading energy seems to embrace the song’s title, though you can feel just a dreamier status by holding tight to the lyrics, built with a sweetness that allows the slight guitar growl in the right speaker to hang just on the edge of the tune itself. It’s a classic sound, but one the UK outfit manage to execute perfectly, putting us on notice for their forthcoming LP, Imaginary Reflections, out on October 3rd.

Last Week’s Jams (10.28 – 11.1)

Just when we thought the year was dragging to a close, we managed to find enough hits to fall in love with and make you a proper playlist! We even have a few of the tracks we covered from Maneater and Boyracer missing, so be sure to check those out. I loved the opening song from Prism Shores; it’s definitely a bright spot on last week, along with the reemergence of Mogwai on the scene. We managed to get in some Austin love for Whalers and Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, not to mentioned representing for the local festival with Levitation interviews from Hello Mary and the Strange Lot. Plus, our pal Michael Maly was able to swing some coverage for Air‘s 25th Anniversary performance of Moon Safari, giving me a chance to slide “Sexy Boy” into yet another playlist. Check it all out below.

Dreamcoaster Share Don’t Lie to Me

Dreamcoaster released their So Long EP this past Spring, and today, they’ve offered up a nice new ditty to satiate your pop tastes on a Friday. This song reminds me of the early work of Luna, hanging on the edges of post-punk, but more interested in the melody than the pulse or noise. A mixture of male/female vocals offers up the perfect contrast, which spreads the melody across your room; they almost seem to stutter right before the chorus too, maximizing every sugary morsel you’re craving. If you love this tune (of course you do!), then please go revisit their So Long EP while you’re at it!
