Last Week’s Jams (2.10 – 2.14)

It started off a little slow and strange, but those keeping their eye on the prize knew we’d be in for a crazy end to the week, as there were releases dropping left and right. We skipped the album cycle to mostly focus on fresh singles, though we gave nods to records that came our way by the likes of Frog, Horsegirl, JJ Sweetheart and a few more. They’ve all got some great individual tracks in this great playlist, but we’re starting you off with Lowmoon‘s new jam, which is the perfect nostalgic bit of dream pop, which then moves right into Club 8‘s most recent banger. Some longer tunes rom Echo Delay, Cross Record and Consumables are within, but we tried to balance that out with some little joys. Also, don’t forget to check out Michael Maly’s review of the recent MJ Lenderman set at Emos!

JJ Sweetheart Share Cinnamom + Drops Big Things

If you go back nearly a decade (yes, we’ve been around that long!), we first met JJ Sweetheart when he was part of France Camp. But, today, he dips his toes into the solo realm, releasing his Big Things EP. When you click on the button below you’ll hear one of the attractions that drew me to his earlier work, which is this soulful tinge of pop; he spins it here through a sort of lo-fi bedroom manifesto, with a soaring chorus that really highlights the magic you want to find in a great pop song. In a sense, it feels like early Generationals, spun with a little bit more of a DIY ethos. Enjoy below, then pop to hear the rest of the EP at Bandcamp.
