Last Week’s Jams (8.18 – 8.22)

We have to own up to riding the struggle bus last week; I’ve been back at school, but the kids were finally in my classroom, so didn’t quite get to as much of the jams as I normally would. But, even as I adapted a new routine, found some real joy in the week’s music, though I know there was tons more out there. We got some solid Austin love with fresh Jane Leo and Rad Gnar, encompassing both sides of the Austin area scene. RayRay crushed it with a premiere for new Living Hour track, so be sure to swing by that jam. Fans of my indiepop coverage will want to be be sure you get your ears on new Tullycraft, Love Burns and Massage, all worthy of some extra listens. Sneak in and enjoy a little dose of new jams. And B.gray threw out some news on the ACL Night Shows, if that’s of interest, dig into the site!

Jamming to Jinzo

You only get 56 seconds to decide whether or not you like Jinzo, as their newest single hits under a minute, but packs an immediacy that might dig its nails into your skin a little bit. There’s some definite off-kilter art-rock movement to the track itself, kind of like splitting a musical atom as the sounds seem to meet then instantly push away from one another. The vocals fall and fumble in charming fashion, playful and yet poetically placed to maximize your adoration as you try to make sense of what’s bouncing through your ear canal. Here’s the Meat will be out on September 26th via Bee Side Cassettes.
