Last Week’s Jams (9.18 – 9.22)

Last week was kind of light on the tunes, at least from my end of things. That being said, it was a pretty heavy week in terms of tunes that made me swoon. We got to premiere new stuff from Citric Dummies and Red Pants, which rule, equally. Of course, it was nice to see our pals in Voxtrot take back up their crown as master of pop; Bubblegum Lemonade was another friend making a return with new music too! All that, and I haven’t even touched on the Lower Plenty track that nearly broke me listening to it. The Serfs and Dancer both had great new music out there; those hit from Alien Nosejob and the Exbats on Goner Records didn’t hurt either. Maybe light on coverage in lieu of our recent weeks, but so much great stuff to dig into here.

If your frustrated with the world, feeling like you just want to punch a hole in the wall, well, then nothing’s going to get your mind ready for it like listening to the latest single from Flooding. They walk this fine line in their music that operates between a nightmare and gorgeous slowcore; you can hear the hints of both working against one another in this track. It opens in a brooding fashion, letting the vocals come in on a whisper as speakers begin to rattle on the edges. Here, the track erupts with this tenacity that begs your attention, like a caged-animal let loose through in your room, destroying all in its path, only to come to a close as it catches its breath, reflecting upon its power. Flooding will release Silhouette Machine on September 29th…with a tour scheduled at the end of October.

Last Week’s Jams (8.28 – 9.1)

It was definitely a busy week on my end, but we pushed through and still managed to crank out some really great music for you all. RayRay got to run the sweet new album stream for Grimson‘s new LP, and I was just hopping all over the place like musical ADHD music junkie I am. Had some good power-pop from the Slow Summits and Colored Lights, to give you some energy. Some great ballad work by Austin artists Feeling Small and Daily Worker to warm and make you cry at once. Plus, I got to bump that new jam from Pachyman, not to mention our weekly dose of all the goods from Australia like Lower Plenty, Screensaver, and Vintage Crop. Stream on below, amigo!

I wanted to wait to share this Flooding track with ya’ll until later in the day, as I felt like the natural doom of the songcraft could be unsettling early in the morning. All that said, the heavy nature is welcoming, crafting this ominous mood that opens up with a pensive brooding before dropping in the vocals to the mixture. Those feathered vocals have this warmth, but in this setting, they almost seem like howling notes from some spiritual realm. You get a bit of respite as the track settles around the 2:15 mark, only to come back with this ferocity that leaves a lasting impression on listeners. It’s a pretty powerful statement track from the KC outfit; they will drop Silhouette Machine on September 29th.
