Last Week’s Jams (6.16 – 6.20)

I felt like I had to make up for missing out on some key hits the prior week, so I doubled down and the team and I brought you 27 brand new tunes. BGray was in love with the new Nations of Language, who he also caught up at the Kilby Block Party. Me?? Well, I fell in love with the women in the music scene, even getting into some new voices like Star Moles who I hadn’t been acquainted with before new singles hit me. Old ATH faves the Mary Onettes returned with a new single, so that was nice to hear…plus a new Pot Pot record is on its way via Felte. Oh…and did anyone write a better song than the opener from the Jeanines on this playlist? Indulge my friends.

Glassio Shares Heartstrings

Feeling very light at the moment, so totally indulging in the pop side of things as I crank up this Glassio track. There’s this surfy wash on the track that opens from the beginning, but it gets quickly pulled back to turn on a funky bounce that’s built for loud volumes and long drives. Sam’s vocals have this dreamy tone that fits perfectly into the nuanced touches that work behind the scenes of the single. You’ll also get this brilliant little fade out moment around the 2:35 mark, as the backing female vocalist gets to go front and center and close out the track in style.

Glassio Share A Million Doubts

Some of Glassio‘s earlier singles have caught my ear, so I kind of just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the subtle pop tendencies with the announcement of For the Very Last Time. I love how the loops are seemingly so simple, almost understated, sort of creating this melodic trance that carries the listener away. It’s the perfect backdrop for Sam to come in with his vocals, bringing in this serenity that leaves the song as this perfect dose of escapism. If you’re unfamiliar with his work, this is a pretty good time to get acquainted, just so your ears are ready for the debut LP when it drops later this year.
