Last Week’s Jams (4.3 – 4.7)

Leave a comment

There was a ton of great music dropping last week, which seems to be the norm for this Spring…not that we mind one bit. I tried to give some love to our Austin friends like Jana Horn and Letting Up Despite Great Faults, who both dropped new releases…and new tunes from Batty Jr. and Born Twins too, so keeping the ATX alive. It was good to hear new stuff from Estonia’s Pia Fraus, who’ve always crafted great landscape shoegaze. New stuff from Cindy and Beach Fossils wasn’t a bad way to slide into the week either, but we closed it out with a fun feature between My Favorite and Holy Wire. Check it all out.

Fatal Jamz Drop Cult Star

I didn’t have a ton of time, but I absolutely couldn’t resist posting this seductive Fatal Jamz tune that just dropped today. It’s a synth pop croon performance for the ages, part nostalgia, but every bit stepping into the present; especially when the chorus slides into the picture, toying with the song’s structure. There’s something in this that also feels like a nod to Pet Shop Boys, which occurs right when the song sets up that aforementioned chorus, ultimately leaving with this delectable little morsel of pop that you’ll be devouring all day long. Whether you choose to dance alone in the dark or drive down that lonesome highway, this song should be on the stereo.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (8.15 – 8.19)

Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s an overabundance of great music coming out as of late? I mean, I fell in love with at least a half dozen new tracks last week, and that’s just the one’s I was able to get up on the site. At the end of the day, I’m still blown away by that Mo Troper tune; I was a fan before but these last two tracks are out of this world good. Ribbon Stage dropped another hit we couldn’t escape running, plus there’s some old ATH standbys like Michael Beach, the Beths and Free Time (all Oceanic acts no less!). Press play, and sink into that Monday vibe.

Fatal Jamz Share Eternity

I’m pretty much a sucker for any brand of synthetic pop, particularly if it’s got a shade of darkness…which this Fatal Jamz tune has, both in the song’s origin and the overall vibe here. The track arose in the months following the passing of a dear friend of singer Marion. I think you can hear some of the open wounds still being processed in the presentation, with this almost nakedness hanging out there a bit for the listener. Most of that revolves around the fragility of the vocals, but I think the cavernous feel illustrates Marion’s push to climb from the darkness of those times and bring a bit more light into the world. Loving this jam for sure.

Huge Hooks from Fatal Jamz

fataljamzFridays are for fun, and in that search for music to coincide with your good times, you should include this Fatal Jamz track. It’s almost like a blend of 80s club hits, smashing against power pop; there’s a synthetic bounce to the track, and that vocal hook is something so delicious that I can’t turn it off! This tune appears on the band’s new album, Coverboy, which looks to be a rather playful effort you can put on repeat; it’ll be released by Lolipop Records on September 30th.

Feel Good Rock N’ Roll fro Fatal Jamz

774186331-1There’s a bit of 80s cheese in this release from Fatal Jamz, but if you get over yourself, you’re going to find yourself happily pumping your fists to this tune, and the rest that reside on Vol. 1. The songs on this release are simple, yet they’re filled with delightful pop moments that you can’t wait to sink your teeth into as each note reaches your ears.  Honestly, it reminds me of Free Energy, except it sounds better, and not quite as revisionist. If you dig what you here, you can sink your teeth into an entire album’s worth of top-tapping, fist-pumping (not bumping) good times. Have fun folks!
