Last Week’s Jams (12.11 – 12.15)

Unfortunately, this is probably the last of Last Week’s Jams for 2023. Not because I don’t want to write about new tunes, but because, for some reason, folks just stop putting out music and let the world dwindle to a compilation of year-end lists. But, last week we still had tons of tunes to cover, with a whole lot of Austin represented. We revisited Fantastic Purple Spots, plus had brand new stuff from Big Bill, the Infinites and Fading Yellow. Got a bonus with one more Maureens track, which might be my favorite on their latest LP, and a fresh Club 8 hit that came out of nowhere. If you’re just looking for a playlist of new music, why not start here.

Fading Yellow Drop New EP

Looking over my shoulder, it seems I missed the debut EP from Austin’s Fading Yellow, which is a quick little listen that would certainly fit into my listening rotation. The music’s got a bit of that rolling psychedelic buzz you would ascribe to a Stereolab fan, but you can hear more modern pop touches lurking in the tracks too, with guitar work that reminds me of early Of Montreal. Below I’ve got the most immediately tasty join on the EP, but, I advise you to dig in as the band push their sound a bit in some of the other spaces. You can stream the whole Stereo Assessment EP by jumping over HERE.
