Last Week’s Jams (4.7 – 4.11)

Leave a comment

We covered a shit load of great music last week, and as is likely to happen, we’re a bit all over the place, sonically. There’s definitely a fair share of punk-ish stuff like The Golden Toad and Second Act, but some classic pop acts of days of old have returned. I mean, can we give a shout out for Comet Gain and Brideshead both announcing brand new albums? I premiered a brand new track from Gentle Leader XIV, and RayRay continued with our undying love of new Night Beats. Plus, you can’t go wrong with new Austin stuff from French Film (not streaming) and Mobley, so bopping there as well. Just find a favorite, as you’re bound to find something joyful.

e4444e Shares Crutch Single

Australian artist Romy Church, aka e4444e, is one of my favorite acts from Australia at the moment, and the latest single from his new LP is an absolute pop journey. When it begins, it sort of feels mostly atmospheric, perhaps an echo from the glory days of Animal Collective, but then it begins to blossom and grow. Layers are added to the vocals, with a heavier wash of instrumentation crashing against the shores of the song. Then suddenly, it’s all peeled back, aside from a faint echo and gentle strum, letting a vocal casually float down from above. Little echoes fill in the space as the tune burns to a fine ash; you’ll definitely want to immerse yourself in Authentic Natural Tradition, dropping on May 31st via Dinosaur City.

Last Week’s Jams (1.27 – 1.31)

Well, the year’s fully in swing, as evidenced by the ridiculous amount of music we got to listen to, though we only managed to write about a mere 25+ tracks and albums. I’ll cop to the fact that the end of the week was the highlight, hitting with a new Lone Striker single on the same day we got The Laughing Chimes album out there. Buffet Lunch continued to flex their musicianship, while the Rishis offered a brand single from their next LP. New Tunde Adebimpe and La Securite had us on the trends, but in the end, I was just glad to hear new stuff from our friends in Seasonal Falls. What will be your favorite jam of last week?

e4444e Offer Liberation

Leave a comment

Wherever you find yourself today, you’ll want the hope that “Liberation” brings you. e4444e builds this atop a sampled beat and a continuous strum, creating this continuous March forward. From there, the ability to move in and out of lofty vocal notes has the song sort of cresting on wings, soaring through your speakers with this brightness that will fill your room (and heart) with a bit of warmth. This song offers you a moment to reflect, then break the chains of whatever seems to be in your way, carrying you off into a better space. This track appears on Authentic Natural Tradition, which hits on May 31st via Dinosaur City.

e4444e Shares Suite from Invisible Stone

There’s been some really incredible stuff coming out of Australia the last few years, but when e4444e shared this track below, I was totally immersed in the story of the project. Invisible Stone is a collaborative effort between lovedavid, e4444e and Skip Wilcox, with each taking on the role of creating sound, lighting and dance for a performance. As you’ll hear below, the music created from this project is ridiculously good, having this sort of melting pot of sounds like early Arcade Fire, though including the beat-laden side of LCD Soundsystem. The video is what one can expect from the live performance, though sadly for me, I’ll be stuck in ‘Merica, but at least I’ll have this jam to reminisce upon.

e4444e Shares Solar Video

I reckon I should stick with the Aussie scene first thing in the morning, so here’s a tune from e4444e off the forthcoming Coldstream Road. From what I’ve heard from Romy Church’s project, this tune is one of the more stripped down tracks present on the record, and perhaps that’s where the draw is for me. Church’s voice spends the first minute pretty much on his own, coolly floating atop the strummed acoustic guitar. When the 1 minute mark drops, textures start to be formed and layered, building in a sonic realm where one can let go and get lost. It’s a pretty special tune, to my ears. Get it this Friday via Spunk Records!
