Last Week’s Jams (1.17 – 1.20)

You’d think in a short coverage week, we’d have few tunes, but there was so much great stuff last week, that we couldn’t help but to try and cover as much as we loved. Personally, I fawned over new Lachlan Denton, Cor de Luxand Tiny Ruins, plus continued my support for Spice World as Album of the Year. I also hit up the Austin scene with new stuff from Bayonne, Dorio, Fantastic Purple Spotsand Rad Gnar. RayRay loved that new Pile tune to death and premiered a new Strawberry Fuzz jam you can find lurking in here too. If we missed something super cool, let us know, otherwise, here’s a way to pass an hour of your day, happily.

Jacob Lopez Shares New Single

I was slow moving this morning, so this track from Jacob Lopez trickled in and caught my attention with much the same pacing. It’s a nice little dreamy sampler, with the song’s turning guitar notes sort of hanging in the air and burning like some sort of lit fuse snaking across the ground. Except, the thing I love about Lopez here is he doesn’t offer the easy hook, instead choosing to lengthen that fuse and let the notes sort of burn out on their own, building this beautifully dreamy churn where his soft notes can cruise in and seduce the listener.
