Last Week’s Jams (2.3 – 2.7)

We covered a fair amount of ground last week, though perhaps not quite as much rolling out as the previous week of tunes. We did get a new Jad Fair/Samuel Locke Ward video premiere that can only be seen HERE. That being said, there were tons of other tunes we can run up our playlist flagpole, like the news tune from Sharp Pins, as part of Kai’s reissue of Radio DDR. Dean Wareham dropped another single from his new record, so that’s good news for all of us. Plus, the end of the week hit hard, with great new ditties from Exploding Flowers and Mythical Motors to round out a solid week of tunes. Stream them below.

Esther Rose Prepares Want LP

Being an Austin-based site, we tend to run into a lot of country records or folk adjacent, and while we honestly don’t mind that, these are a dime-a-dozen, which is why I’m really enjoying this new Esther Rose track. There’s this silliness to the song, like Rose knows she’s playing within the confines of expectations, but she’s going to keep pushing it a little beyond our expectations. For instance, there’s this noisy element in the pseudo-chorus that branches into dream pop territory. It’s a freeing performance, allowing Esther to kind of take ownership and make her own sound from within, and to be honest, this song feels like she’s having a hell of a time doing it…and that’s enough to keep me interested. Want is out May 2nd via New West Records.
