Last Week’s Jams (4.14 – 4.18)

Leave a comment

A fairly busy week as we got a little more back on routine writing last week, and we were especially excited for all the pop fans out there. New stuff from Jeanines, the Perfect English Weather, Lightheaded, and Lost Film had what cures the ills, and man, were there some special tracks mentioned above. Circled around to hear some Austin, and Austin adjacent stuff with Little Marzarn, BS and former ATX resident Lauren Green and Tan Cologne. Plus, M. Maly gave us a peek at what’s in store for Pscyh Fest, throwing in some coverage with King Hannah being highlighted on the playlist. Plus, great new albums from the Convenience and Mythical Motors rounded the week out properly. What was your fave?

Fotoform This City is Over

Friday’s a busy day on the release schedule, and Fotoform will be dropping their latest effort, Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom). Alas, you can’t head into the weekend without one last convincing hint at the record, like the latest single “The City is Over.” This go round, the entirety of the song is a personal reclamation of meaning in our life, realizing that goals and expectations are part of the cyclical nature of modernity, and as such, are destructive forces in our lives. All of this is supported by a shiny bit of industrial-influenced dream pop, filled by hazy guitar lines and a exploring the negative space with bubblegum melodies. Grab the LP this Friday!

Last Week’s Jams (3.17 – 3.21)

Well, after going pretty nonstop for nearly 20 years, RayRay and I had our first real Spring Break, so we took a few days off…please forgive us! That means that today you’re getting a lot of jams coming your way, new and a week old that I couldn’t ignore! But, even with our time off, Ray and I covered almost 20 new tunes…all but one included in our weekly wrap-up playlist to get your day started. There’s new Buffet Lunch, Mamalarky, Sharp Pins and more. If you want to go back and revisit the “writing,” just scroll through the site, but you’re going to have to try to keep up as the tunes are coming fast and heavy at you today!

Fotoform Share Grief is a Garden

This Fotoform tune has been kicking about for a few days, but as I was on vacation, I’m just now able to guide you towards the comfort you’re seeking. For my two cents, the song’s draw is the perfect dynamic balance between the angelic tones of singer Kim House and the ambient waves of noise that billow through the background of the song; it creates this cavernous structure, with House as your guide, leading you towards your own solace. Yet, like the thematic essence of grief, growing and budding, the song, too, offers something entirely new when you hit the 2:34 minute mark, channeling a darker sentiment. It’s harrowing in its nature, only to blossom and bloom at the end, recapturing the perfect shimmer for a brief moment before slinking back into the dark. Their new album Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom) drops on April 18th.
