Last Week’s Jams (10.21 – 10.25)

It seems like the year is grinding to a slow halt, as there are fewer and fewer trickles of new tracks coming our way, though I’ll admittedly hope that that’s the end of the year preparations not the musical end of times. Still, I fell in love with a lot of great songs, like a new single from the last Mope Grooves LP, which just came out on 12XU. Also, 12XU adjacent is a new single from Austin’s Quin Galavis, which I was digging too. There was a brand new single from The Gentle Spring, which hopefully got you Field Mice fans excited. Plus, RayRay has been busting his ass on getting coverage out for Levitation this week, with new posts up on Pissed Jeans and Acid Mothers Temple.

Generifus Share Body and Mine + Release Summerberrys

Everyone’s trying to cram as much new music into the end of the year as possible, so let’ add the latest release from Generifus to the mix of things I’ve had on rotation. The single below shares the brightness in the guitar style that runs through Summerberrys, which still resonates as we near record days of heat over here in Texas. What I was drawn towards, and perhaps this is due to my indulgence in the style, but something about Spencer’s voice this go round feels very Oceanic; it has that casualness allowing for the narration of a well-lived life. You’ll find the chorus offering up some sweet rewards too, so indulge below.

Last Week’s Jams (4.17 – 4.20)

If there is one song I want you to listen to it has to be the absolute smash hit from Maine’s Big Blood; I think I’ve listened to that track 1000 times since I’ve heard it, if not more. Of course, there’s other great tunes to enjoy as well, like that pop ditty from Tough Age, or Rama Lama’s new signing, Echo Ladies. Plus, Austin held its own again with new stuff from Dress Warm and RF Shannon. And, if you’re looking for something with some legs, there’s at least a handful of tunes stretching beyond the 4 minute mark, so indulge as you must.

Generifus Readies Rearrangel, Shares Glass House

I feel like it may have been a minute since we got a full release from Spencer Sult’s project, Generifus; it looks like that’s all about to change with the announcement of Rearrangel, a brand new collection of tunes. I’m totally in love with the guitar sound here, particularly in the way the notes seem to sort of climb their way down a steep set of steps on a ladder; it gives the song this sort of pastoral feel, something that almost feels like its been farmed from the grounds of Olympia (Sult’s home). Big fan of this one, so keep an eye out for Rearrangel, out June 2nd via Anything Bagel/Bud Tapes.

Generifus Returns with New EP

Generifus just dropped Free Ways back in March, and Spencer Sult is ready to return with a new EP under his belt. He returns with this slinky ballad, strolling through your speakers without a care in the world. There’s a strong backbone of keys and electronics, which allows Sult the room to let his voice do the work to draw in the listener; he’s accompanied just beneath the mix by Anna Jeter of Ancient Pools. The middling track solo is a nice little touch to add some flesh to the tune…not that that’s needed. Suit reminds me of a slightly happier Greg Ashley, which is a high compliment on my end. Look for And of an Era to drop this Friday.

Premiere: Generifus Ready Free Ways

Generifus is primarily the work of Spencer Sult, though he’s able to get by with a little help from his friends. At the moment, he’s ramping up the machine, anxiously to release his latest album Free Ways into the world. Today we bring you one of the album’s highlights; it wears a touch of similarity to Morby or Vile. Something in Spencer’s voice just sounds so friendly and personable, as if he’s been in your life for quite some time; perhaps you can also find that same quality in the lyrical content. Musically, there’s this remarkable underbelly to the guitar; it has this darkened tone that seems to work in contrast to promise in Sult’s voice…but I love it. The LP will be available on March 9th via Sultan Serves Records.
