Last Week’s Jams (5.22 – 5.26)

It was the last week of my school year, so I perhaps didn’t run as many tracks up the old flagpole as I otherwise might have liked, but we’ve still got a solid hour worth of hits below for those looking to peruse the jams. A new Life Strike tune kicks it off, dropping in some power-pop to your ears. We had some new stuff from both Sea Lemon and the Mary Onettes, all of which got me excited for the rest of the year to come. That new XDS is just out there enough for the weirdoes to come on home to roost with us. Happy Tuesday ya’ll!

Faunas Release Avid Single

Having started out as a loud bit of punk, it seems Faunas have now settled into their shoes, willing to lean into all sides of their songwriting abilities as they prep Paint the Birds. There’s definitely not still a bit of punk remnants on the way the guitars continue to climb in this tune, but you’d most likely file this under warmed guitar pop vibes. All the vocal notes are perfectly smoothed, almost like they’re channeling Stevie Nicks at points, but I keep getting stuck on the guitars. They open the tune, then hang behind the voice, sort of weaving this intricate fabric that definitely elevates each rhythmic note of the verses. If you’re digging, Paint the Birds is out on June 20th.
