Last Week’s Jams (10.7 – 10.11)

We crushed the coverage last week; we had some ACL coverage as well as some Sigur Ros notes from their Austin show. But, we also covered a solid 28 tracks, 26 of which made the cut on our Last Week’s Jams (the new Boyracer and Rocky Lorelei can only be found on the site). A new track from the Serfs is still living rent-free in my brain, while I discovered just how much I’m enjoying Kim Deal‘s new solo stuff. That doesn’t even scratch the surface, as there were several Texas’ acts like Pets and Trauma Ray getting some new jams out. I will admit, perhaps I overdid it, but eh, you love the new stuff right? Cool. Stream it then.

Eliot Eidelman Shares Silhouette Video

This new Eliot Eidelman song is fantastic; it’s just a generally good song, and saying that, probably doesn’t do the track justice. Maybe I could tell you that Evan from Wand, etc plays and records the tunes, but even then, that’s all hype. So, when I was listening through, and watching the video, I reveled in the performance. The song works with this steady trot, taking a light strum then building it into something that operates with a bit more force and the subtlest backing vocal. All good things, but please dive into the video, embrace the fun. Eliot offers up a silliness that, unfortunately, seems rarer these days; he’s joyous whilst still penning a solid tune, and that’s made my day. Sure, the world’s a hellhole and hurtling downward, and while I spend far more time on that negativity, Eidelman reminded me of the goofball that I hope is all inside of us. And, he did it while offering up a jam you’ll keep coming back to, again and again. This tune is the title track from Silhouette, which drops on January 1st!
