Last Week’s Jams (2.5 – 2.9)

Leave a comment

We had a windows down car drive end to the week, so here we are looking at all the hits we covered in the last week. There were a few jams like the new single from Gentleman Jesse or the Pheromoans latest that aren’t anywhere on DPS, but we’ve got tons of other jams from the week. I really loved the new bops from Johnnie Carwash, Icarus Phoenixand Flowertown, while Ray snuck in some new Mini Trees and Acid Tongue. Plus, we tried to suggest you take listens to new LPs from Itasca, David Nance, Dead Bandit and Pylon Reenactment Society, so if anything, sample a tune here and there from the new records. Get in and drive with Last Week’s Jams.

Homeshake Announces CD Wallet

Leave a comment

Like it or not, you’ve got to appreciate the artistry of Peter Sagar, aka Homeshake; his willingness to push himself creatively is an admirable trait, as it indicates a definite indifference to the algorithm-driven industry. Sometimes, it’s been wildly successful, and other times, for me, it missed. But, as his new album “explores his fascination with guitar music,” I can definitely say I’m on board here. There’s a bit of an Alex G meets Nothing vibe, going from this quieted bedroom performance into a big distorted gut punch; I loved the balance and definitely think I’ll be paying close attention when CD Wallet drops via Shhoamkee on March 8th.

Minimalist Track From Homeshake

Leave a comment

Homeshake has been making chilled out indie pop meets R&B tracks for a solid chunk of time now, so it’s no surprise that his latest track “Like Mariah,” is yet another slice of solid work. On the heels of the announcement of his fourth LP, Peter Sagar, clearly knows a thing or two about making a proper track. “Like Mariah” has this funky/almost crunchy bass sound that perfectly juxtaposes Sagar’s falsetto vocals. Sagar sings of thinking about what could have been, and the emptiness of the instrumentation matches that emotion quite well. Take a listen and then prep for the coming of Helium, which will be out February 15th of next year on Sinderlyn.

 

 

Chilled Out Vibe from Homeshake

Leave a comment

sinderlynSettling into the middle of the week? The bets way to due that is to sit back and listen to this ultra-relaxed new single from Homeshake.  There’s definitely a little bit of an indie meets R&B groove going on, but the synth work is minimal, so I don’t feel like I’m being overwhelmed by beats and orchestration.  Honestly, you can just sit back and let yourself fall into this song, which is a fairly rare experience for me.  Look for his new album, Midnight Snack, to come out on 9/18 via Sinderlyn.

Funky Tune from HOMESHAKE

homemaltThe good things about boutique labels working with other, larger, entities, is that they can release really great music that might not get the time of day otherwise.  That’s what I get from Homeshake, one of the bands on Sinderlyn.  It’s not that I don’t dig the tune; it’s that it reaches out there a bit from the modern indie lore, so I like that it gets a day in the sun.  There’s this really funky guitar line grooving all over the place, using a chilled out vocal delivery to really settle things down.  Does indie funk exist as a genre? Maybe easy-indie listening or elevator indie? Regardless, I’ll be down to listen to the whole In the Shower LP when it’s release on October 7th.
