Last Week’s Jams (7.15 – 7.19)

After a rather mellow preceding week, this past one hit hard with some bigs hits for us on our end. We took some time out to reach out to our friend Andy from Chime School, grabbed a quick interview and a vegan chili recipe. Fell in love with a couple of great new pop tunes from the likes of Sassyhiya and Sumos, plus that Casual Technicians wasn’t too shabby either. Repped some album love for Crack Cloud, Manners Manners, Julia Sophie, Immortal Nightbody, Red Jacket and Nightshift too. Plus, good solid Austin contingent getting love with new music from Being Dead, Hallo and Blood (Austin adjacent, right?). Dig in and find a cool tune below.

High Pitched Scream Share Morning Light Single

Really enjoying this fresh single from Sydney act High Pitched Scream, which definitely feels like it has the perfect groove for a Monday morning listening routine. The verses have this brooding growl, circling around this melodic center that helps build a bit of the pop that you’d need to keep you going. Tune into the chorus where the band offers up a bit more of a sharp bite, pushing into territory that’s almost more punk rock in nature as they bang out heavy riffs with huge kicks. You know you’re a sucker for a tune that’s both rocking and soaking in hooks, so turn it up and tune out.

Last Week’s Jams (12.11 – 12.15)

Unfortunately, this is probably the last of Last Week’s Jams for 2023. Not because I don’t want to write about new tunes, but because, for some reason, folks just stop putting out music and let the world dwindle to a compilation of year-end lists. But, last week we still had tons of tunes to cover, with a whole lot of Austin represented. We revisited Fantastic Purple Spots, plus had brand new stuff from Big Bill, the Infinites and Fading Yellow. Got a bonus with one more Maureens track, which might be my favorite on their latest LP, and a fresh Club 8 hit that came out of nowhere. If you’re just looking for a playlist of new music, why not start here.

High Pitched Scream Release Falsehead

Was in the need of a bit of noise to get me out of my morning slumbers today, and this track from High Pitched Scream was perfectly fitting. It opens with this huge wall of feedback, purposefully keeping you on edge from the moment the drums start crashing down. The song’s success lives in the balance between that noise and the vocals, which offer a softer center, like the center of a Tootsie Roll pop; you’re going to want to get to the center in less than three licks. As the track unfolds, you can hear the musicianship on display, letting the song kind of meander here and there, throwing blasts of noise at you all along the way.
