Last Week’s Jams (9.5 – 9.8)

Just because we took Monday off last week, it didn’t mean we were taking it easy; I think I posted 11 things in one day, simply because there’s been so much great jams to get turned onto. Austin had tons of representation with TVs Daniel, Motorsports, Friday Boys, DAIISTAR and Feeling Small, but my own love for Spanish-language pop was made all the better with tunes from Melenas and Mint Field coming our way. Teenage Tom Petties were back for the attack, with a new album announcement. Plus, there’s some reissue news with Kath Bloom and Single Bullet Theory getting coverage. So yeah, music! Whoohoo!

Holly Munro Shares Glow-Up Single

When I first turned up this Holly Munro track it reminded me of early 00s indie rock, with acts like Feist, or maybe even some of the earliest Dirty Projectors tracks. There’s this way of layering the vocals atop each track, building upon the way the folk and electronica intermingle. Little vocal hiccups are purposeful, hitting that vocal performance aspect, which definitely transports the listener into that perfectly pop realm. Balancing beats, vocals and folk influences isn’t easy, but the execution here is spot on, leading to the promise from her Up Against Your Nature EP, out on November 3rd.
