Last Week’s Jams (7.14 – 7.18)

Leave a comment

Felt like a pretty busy week all in all; there were lots of big album news leaking out, and we tried to cover the ones we love, like new Living Hour and Telephone Numbers…and I had to squeeze in that new Blood Orange. Tons of new stuff has been coming out of Austin too, like new stuff from Dress Warm, Living Pins, Chronophage and Ingebrigt Haker Flatten (do we still get to claim San Gabriel?). Winter and TAGABOW continued with their run of solid singles, as did Wombo, so there’s a whole lot of stuff for you to sound your way through below. Bummed that new Bats tune I posted isn’t up on the DSPs.

Dress Warm Release Divine Single

Leave a comment

First things first, the single is titled “Divine,” though I’ll admit that the performance is also similarly divine, in its own manner. We’ve covered Dress Warm for some time, trying to get the Austin bunch on your radar, and now that they’ve got a debut planned, we’ve got the album’s first single to share with you. Brandon Price seems to be the main player in the track’s first half, letting the gentleness of his voice work atop the light strums of guitar work; it’s a living room performance, the sort that brings you in with its natural intimacy. They work the song into a lather, letting it build up with this stomping tension before washing it clean by letting the full band sound sweep in and layer the track in emphatic texture. Their debut album, If I Could I’d Take You There is out on August 22nd.

One third of the year is behind us now, and so we’re getting towards that moment when arbitrary best of 2025 lists began to pop up, but we’re keeping our eyes on the prize, focusing on new music, however it comes. There were some definite bonus tunes coming our way, like new Stereolab, as they prep for their forthcoming LP. Slumberland continued their great 2025 by announcing a new Autocamper LP (along with Safe Suburban Home). Personally, I was really excited to hear that Far Caspian has a new one on the way, as I loved the single shared this week. Perennial favorite acts also dropped new singles, so you’ll hear ditties from The High Water Marks, the Beths, Provoker and the Serfs. Give a little listen and start making your own mid-year list!

Dress Warm Share Louisiana Purchase

I have been keeping a steady ear on Austin outfit Dress Warm, as they seem to offer consistently solid indie rock from within the confines of our city limits. Their latest single hits all the right notes, letting the song sort of move in and out, carefully crafting each step. Certain moments bring out the forceful rock side, particularly in the way the tune kicks off, though that blast subsides so the melodies can sneak into your earholes. When they let that guitar note sort of ring out in the front of the mix, then allow space behind it, the song completely lifts, even featuring some spectacular noodling to illustrate the group’s musicianship. Stream this ditty below.

Dress Warm Release Backyard Single

We’ve been covering Dress Warm for a few year’s now, watching as the Austin trio found their musical footing. With their latest tune, you get this feeling that they’re finally settling into their skin. There’s this fragility that remains, particularly in the vocals, crafting this earnestness that’s capable of bewildering listeners. At the moment, I’m enjoying the way they’ve buoyed the sound, adding in textural strokes that move the song beyond just mere songwriter craft, then continue to grow that power into the track as it moves towards its close. Stoked to see what they’re working on, as this sounds like some of their strongest vibes.

I felt like I let you down last week, having only really covered about 17 new songs, but in that, we tried to make sure there were some burners in there that would get you excited. What better way to start off this week’s recap than bringing you the world’s best power pop outfit, The High Water Marks and their new single. We got a new RVG tune, which is never a bad place to be, plus Beach Fossils continued to show their growth on the new LP. And, it wouldn’t be us if there was no Austin contingent, so we ran an acoustic session from Redbud, plus the latest from Dress Warm. Take a listen.

Dress Warm Share Unfamiliar Features

Leave a comment

Feels like Austin outfit Dress Warm are really hitting their stride, with a great EP dropping last November, and now a brand new one slated for next week. So, here we are with a great new single, which immediately catches your ear with its light guitar stabs and steadied drum beat kicking off things. When the vocals hit, they take on that sort of atmospheric warmth that’s been popularized with the resurgence of great guitar pop (though I always associate it with early emo/slowcore). But, where I think I fell in love with this track was its change near the 1 minute mark; it turns a little brightness out of the track (as if it needed more), but then suddenly slows all the way down for a nice little midtrack instrumental jam. Tons of movement here, again, the band at peak form. Stepping Away is out next Friday, May 5th.

If there is one song I want you to listen to it has to be the absolute smash hit from Maine’s Big Blood; I think I’ve listened to that track 1000 times since I’ve heard it, if not more. Of course, there’s other great tunes to enjoy as well, like that pop ditty from Tough Age, or Rama Lama’s new signing, Echo Ladies. Plus, Austin held its own again with new stuff from Dress Warm and RF Shannon. And, if you’re looking for something with some legs, there’s at least a handful of tunes stretching beyond the 4 minute mark, so indulge as you must.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (10.3 – 10.7)

Lots of coverage running around last week, and with ACL in town, there was some coverage of shows and what not. We ended the week throwing up some streams of our favorite LPs that dropped too. But, ultimately, you came here for the tunes, and we had lots of them. Personally, I loved new stuff from I Was a King, Heather Trost and Field School, not to mention the little twist in expectations thrown in by the latest from Smashing Times. RayRay loved some rockers from S.C.A.B and Fluung, and they’ve all been conveniently added for your listening pleasure below. Browse, and head back and see what we had to say if you’re so inclined.

Dress Warm Share Take a Hint Single

Leave a comment

Austin’s Dress Warm have been getting a lot of love around here lately, and I think this new single illustrates how much promise the band has going forward. Opening up with a heavy brand of guitar pop, there’s an immediate buoyancy to the tune, giving you a similar bounce in your own step. In that playfulness, you find the vocals hopping along too, bringing in a melodic softness to the light churn of the guitars, blanketing the song in this rewarding layer of charm that should resonate with nearly any listener. Stoked to hear more of what’s coming from the group!
