Jasper Byrne and Sonic Share Mirrors
On the first single from their collaborative LP, Jasper Byrne and Sonic were flirting with a mixture of post-punk and house music. On their newest single, you can hear those dance grooves scampering about in the distance; they’re sort of distant, so you feel as if they’re running circles in your mind. That is until you hit that 2 minute mark; the beat drops in fully, taking the shadowy nature and turning it into more of a drum n’ bass boogie that pushes the vocal content aside in favor of locking into this beat-driven groove. They continue to push the limits of where indie rock and electronica meet, so keep your eyes peeled for Mirrors when its dropped on June 21st via Space Recordings.
Well, I somehow managed to break the streak! This week we only have 23 songs to offer instead of the customary 28 per that last four weeks! Alas, I was sick, so were my kids, and a few of the tunes weren’t streaming. So, what did we cover? The good stuff. I was blown away and waxing nostalgic with the new Royal Headache announcement and accompanying single. It was good to see acts like Oh Boland, Neutrals and Stephen’s Shore give me my pop goodies. Plus, Austin powerhouses Urban Heat and Font were out there backing up hype with great new singles. Oh, and did you catch out great Rock n’ Recipe feature with R.E. Seraphin? Well, there’s still plenty to digest below, so enjoy yourselves!
