Florist Announce Jellywish
If ever there was a concept that fit my state of mind, the ideas behind the new Florist record seem to fall perfectly in step with where my brain is resting. Emily Sprague says the record was intentionally set to be “chaotic, confusing and multifaceted,” rocking us from our doldrums. Seems like this year is already set to shake things up in our world, so perhaps we dive into it. This new single/video is a little babbling brook, ornately wrapping itself around a tumbling drum beat; Sprague’s voice canoes down the musical stream, a voyager seemingly moving in whichever direction the song blows it. A nice way to announce Jellywish, their new LP planned for a April 4th release via Double Double Whammy.
It’s always strange when I feel like I didn’t do a good job covering new jams, yet I end the week with 20 or more new tunes we’ve tried to get you to crank up…and last week was definitely one of those…feel like I barely dipped my toes in the pond of goodness. Alas, there were some great tunes for you, particularly if you’re into the Australian scene, with new stuff from both Pop Filter and Skegss, not to mention the Oceanic adjacent Jim Nothing. Naked Roommate threw down an end of Summer block party, while Austin’s Cast of Thousands let us say hello to some old friends. Tons of stuff to indulge upon here, so feel free to let me know what I might have missed along the way.
So much good music last week, and so much to cover. Well, we tried to get up as much as we could, plus Brian got some great photos of Good Morning and Packs. Here’s our weekly musical recap, with lots of awesome news, like new releases from Tan Cologne, Field Guides…and Voxtrot! I think the news of their Early Music compilation definitely made my week, even as I was held hostage in my classroom by state testing. Enjoy some jams from last week.
