Last Week’s Jams (1.9 – 1.13)

Leave a comment

We had a rough start last week, with a wee bit of server issues…plus getting back into work after some time off. But, we came back to a bunch of sweet tunes from some ATH favorites…new videos from Blues Lawyer and En Attendant Ana, not to mention one that tied up the excellent LP from Doom Flower. I was blown away by another fresh track from Joyeria, and RayRay did a little write up on our friends in Why Bonnie. I was really in love with that Grey Factor tune we ran at the end of the week, but it hasn’t made it onto streaming platforms, so check that out before digging into new EPs from Dippers and Peel Dream Magazine.

Another Tune from the Grey Factor Reissue LP

Listening on repeat this morning, it’s crazy to even think that Grey Factor were crafting tracks like this in the late 70s/early 80s; I mean how the fuck did the musical world go so wrong! Honestly, the slow-pacing of the band’s synth construction here seems perfectly fit for our world, a reminder that we should all allow ourselves to slow down. As the band does this, the fuzz of the synths buzz your ears, the guitar notes twinkling in the distance, creating this cavernous feel, adding a huge depth to the vibe. You’re seduced by the blanketing solemnity of the vocals, then as you reach the 2 minute mark they erupt with an almost pained burst of joy, raising the song even further. Grey Factor: 1979-1980 AD – The Complete Studio Recordings will be available on January 27th via Damaged Disco.
