Last Week’s Jams (5.15 – 5.19)

Leave a comment

It was a busy week to start, then as usual at this time of year, I teetered out with our coverage; I blame the fact that I stayed up late to catch a great set from En Attendant Ana. We covered a lot of territory, bringing in an old school song from Heavenly, but with a new video to celebrate. Austin got some love with another great Feeling Small tune, plus some bonus Being Dead coverage popping up in there. ATH faves Melenas announced a new record, so really, we had an all out awesome week on our end. Feel free to stop in and check out what we had going.

Expensive Music Band Sing About Cool Aunty

Leave a comment

Expensive Music Band was not quite on my radar until this year, but now I can’t help but to just turn on a single when it comes our way, like this latest single, “Cool Aunty.” This go round we find the band in slow-burning fashion, regaling us with an homage to all the strong bad-ass women that influence us, and our children. I love how the band seems to employ an almost surf meets garage vibe, though they’re elevating it beyond even what I expect. There’s lush arrangements throughout the tune, leading the listener through a sort of ceremonious version of rock n’ roll; you’ll also find some syllable playfulness from Troon Lienad that’s absolutely marvelous. Pencil in Things to Say at a Barbecue for your listening pleasure; it drops on June 16th via Exclusive Culture/Permanent Slump.

Looking back at last week, there was tons of really great stuff out there, and admittedly, there are a few things we just didn’t have time to get to on our end. But, stoked for Austin, as there was great new music from Being Dead, Transy Warhol, Holy Wire and new project Feeling Small. My favorite track from the most recent Blues Laywer LP got a video treatment, so I had to have that one out. RayRay covered that huge banger from Night Beats, who will be in town for Psych Fest. And, one of my favorite SXSW acts Snooper announced their new LP too, so you get a bunch of winning hits!

Expensive Music Band Drop Enigmatic Times Video

When I listen to Expensive Music Band I always find something that feels really unique, amidst all the various touchstones to the pop stylings I generally adore. For instance, this new song plays with a lot of different vocal tones, whether that’s the delivery of the notes or just the tonal changes altogether; it feels like there’s some intriguing dynamism like you’d find on a Dan Bejar record. Musically, the song gets filled in with smooth bits of dreamy pop notes, texturized with washes of synth and bits of R&B swing that add a level of exuberance to the track’s trance-inducing structure. They will be releasing Things to Say at a Barbecue via Exclusive Culture/Permanent Slump on Jun 16th!

We covered a whole lot of ground last week, as there’s always tons of music spilling out into the world. I was really high upon the new track from Daisies, which is why its leading our playlist. There were also tons of ATH regulars like the Reds Pinks and Purples, Lachlan Denton, Jana Horn, Dippers and the High Water Marks. Plus, with SXSW on the horizon, we did tons of little meet and greet posts with the bands: Blondeshell, Meernaa, Foamboy and more. So find a song you love, and go check out what we hit up last week!
