Last Week’s Jams (9.1 – 9.5)

Leave a comment

There were some that covered more than us, and there were others that didn’t quite cover as much, but I’ll admit, feel like us only hitting 14 songs in a week was just scratching the surface of what came out last week. Still, we had Meritorio Records crushing the week’s end with new tunes from Strange Passage and the Wesleys. My personal favorite tune cranking out in under two minutes was that new jam from Teenage Tom Petties. Good to see the Apartments back too, so we ran the first single from their forthcoming LP, not to mention peeked back at the latest LP from The Fisheremen Three. It’s a quick run through this week, so make sure you crank it up and enjoy the ride!

Joyeria Drops the Swimmer

Leave a comment

I suppose I’ll open up this morning with a little back to back swimming nods, as this fresh Joyeria picks up where the previous morning single left off, taking the swimming to “The Swimmer.” There is something in the construction of a Joyeria song that feels like he’s the natural successor to early Beck; it’s definitely rock music, but he’s going to flirt here and there with elements of great pop songwriting. Here, there’s a hook running right through the center, and you can’t avoid it, but it’s spun with this element of harshness coming from the slight little growl lurking in the voice. The new Graceful Degradation EP will be out on October 31st via Speedy Wunderground.

New Single from Joyeria

I keep waiting for folks in the States to really catch on to Joyeria, as the project continues to impress with each new sprinkle of pop that comes our way. You’ll hear tons of similarities in the voice, from David Berman to Tim Darcy to Nick Cave…and that’s where you fall in love. That voice feels primal, like it’s escaping out of necessity, unable to be contained, and in such, you can feel the emotion, freshly smashing into you as it makes its way through the speakers. Musically, it’s the bits in the negative space that make me marvel, wondering how much I’ve missed, as the stark nature of the vocals forces you to focus on darkened space we often overlook…and here it’s filled with muted guitar lines and fuzzed out horn work. This song is part of a special cassette planned for a forthcoming art show…so be on the lookout for a couple of other tracks to pop up.

We had a rough start last week, with a wee bit of server issues…plus getting back into work after some time off. But, we came back to a bunch of sweet tunes from some ATH favorites…new videos from Blues Lawyer and En Attendant Ana, not to mention one that tied up the excellent LP from Doom Flower. I was blown away by another fresh track from Joyeria, and RayRay did a little write up on our friends in Why Bonnie. I was really in love with that Grey Factor tune we ran at the end of the week, but it hasn’t made it onto streaming platforms, so check that out before digging into new EPs from Dippers and Peel Dream Magazine.

Joyeria Shares Brand New Single

Leave a comment

I was super impressed by Joyeria‘s FIM EP, which came out last week. But, the artist is already back with a brand new track, and one that is even more striking than what’s already been accomplished. Opening up, the song’s just this driving guitar line working over light drum work; then the production ramps up the volume, letting the rising action of the track hit. That’s when the vocals come into play, with Joy’s voice embracing the little imperfections and offering up this brilliant viewpoint on the life of artistry. Bubbling beneath are some noisier elements, adding texture to the tune that’s really enchanting. So, if you haven’t already, please listen to Joyeria.

Hitting our stride last week, or so it seemed. We wrapped up the week streaming tons of records we’d been jamming, plus new stuff out on Friday from Gold Star, Midwestern Medicine, Matching Outfits and more. Personally, I got stuck on that Melby tune, wondering what it would take to make them huge in the US. And, since we got to spin some records, we’ve also got some upbeat numbers sent our way by Fujiya & Miyagi, Certain Times and No Zu. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone, so like us, its all over the place. Happy Monday.

Joyeria Share 9 to 5 Video

When listening to the work of Joyeria, I constantly feel out of my depth; the artists seems to completely work against the grain of indie rock expectations. After some Pavement allusions in the previous single, this one feels more like the evolution of Kraftwerk, using beats to propel the the tune and give it pace, while the lyrical content takes aim at the mundane modernity we find ourselves inside. Everything in the craft just seems to be taking dead aim at the middle road of indie rock, begging us to perhaps live further outside the lines. Take a risk, indulge below; FIM EP is out October 14th via Speedy Wunderground.

Back to the grind! I’m back at work, getting read to teach the kids and what not! But, looking back at last week, we covered a lot of rad territory I think that’s worthy of you easing into your work week, or just your day. I was stoked to hear Emma Kupa popping up on the latest track from Let’s Whisper, a band she’s joined recently. RayRay dropped new tunes from Sunfruits and Pale Blue Eyes, as well as threw some love towards the new Mall Walker EP. I know there was a lot of love and buzz on the new Peel Dream Magazine and Winter tunes, but personally, the track I couldn’t stop playing was the Enola jam inclued. Anyways, enjoy.

Joyeria Announces Debut Fim EP

Leave a comment

While we’re all clamoring (sort of) for Pavement reunion tickets, we might have taken our eyes off the prize, which in this case is Joyeria. Why the mention of Pavement? Well, if you’re not picking up on the Malkmus-ness of what’s going on here, well, then one of us clearly needs new ears! What I love though is that Joyeria seems more than willing to kind of turn things up and get loud out of nowhere, then mellow just as quickly, leaving you disoriented as you try to decipher the wordplay. After a few singles, the project is set to release a debut, the FIM EP, which drops October 14th via Speedy Wundergound.

Man, even in a short week, I managed to cover a whole lot of ground that we should remind you ran last week on ye’ ole site. Clocking in at just under an hour, you get a reminder to check out Team Play‘s debut LP, or maybe jump on the Onyon bandwagon with the rest of us now that Trouble in Mind have reissued their rad debut. Maybe you just want tried and true, like a new Florist tune or a Slow Magic remix for Letting Up Despite Great Faults. Pick your poison…it’s probably in here. Paris. Yeah.
