Last Week’s Jams (10.7 – 10.11)

Leave a comment

We crushed the coverage last week; we had some ACL coverage as well as some Sigur Ros notes from their Austin show. But, we also covered a solid 28 tracks, 26 of which made the cut on our Last Week’s Jams (the new Boyracer and Rocky Lorelei can only be found on the site). A new track from the Serfs is still living rent-free in my brain, while I discovered just how much I’m enjoying Kim Deal‘s new solo stuff. That doesn’t even scratch the surface, as there were several Texas’ acts like Pets and Trauma Ray getting some new jams out. I will admit, perhaps I overdid it, but eh, you love the new stuff right? Cool. Stream it then.

JW Francis Shares Feel It + Drops Sunshine

Leave a comment

You’re possibly browsing the net, looking for something to download and enjoy today, so might I suggest this new JW Francis tune. While some of the tracks on his brand new record, Sunshine, embrace a more pensive fashion, this single’s an absolute joy; it reminds me of a poppier version of the Strokes (or just their last LP as a whole). There’s a stomping nature to the rhythm section, driving the song forward and encouraging the listener to release their inhibitions, riding out with the rhythm and the wind at their back. If you’re enjoying what you hear, crank up the volume, then check out the rest of Sunshine, available today from Born Losers.

What started off as a slow week quickly hit hard once the Softies announced their return to the scene after a few decades away. While that may have overshadowed my personal adoration, there was still plenty of cool things to jam out to, or so I thought. The Teenage Tom Petties take on a power pop version of doo-wop, while Chime School announced what seems to be the purest of jangle pop record ever to exist. We had some outsider stuff too that I was super into, like the new Robber Robber single…plus some 7 degrees of Austin made easy with new music from Blood and Lunar Vacation. And, if you need sweet pop feels, try out the new 7ebra or Emma Russack jams. All in all, some great new finds for you here, if you’ll only press play.

JW Francis Announces Sunshine

Leave a comment

Traditionally, Fridays are meant to be invigorating, a promise of a carefree aura on the horizon. Today, might we implore you to settle in with this new single from JW Francis, as it’s got the same sort of promise for his forthcoming album. There’s a driving bit of synth throughout the verses, delivering this spirited sprint that maximizes the tension in the tune. It all comes to a full-head though when the chorus drops and the song just rains melody atop your head; it’s a sublime moment that just pulls you into the depths of the tune, unable to pull yourself away from it’s pop magnetism. Sunshine, the new LP, will drop officially on September 11th via Born Losers.

What a wild and crazy week that was. Tons of music, and tons of great albums. We suggested you listen to the latest LPs from Lunchbox, Amy O, Gregor and Stephen’s Shore, among others…so go back and revisit those records if you’re into full-length listens. But, if not, some of our favorite acts popped up after a bit of an absence; there was new stuff from both Quivers and Emma Russack, so the Aussie contingent was representing with new music. This My Best Unbeaten Brother track that opens up the playlist is a ripper, but don’t you dare skip beyond new Yea-Ming or Cats of Transnistria. Just a bunch of great jams for you to enjoy, so just get right to it!

JW Francis Shares Pretending Single

You’re putting on your pants, sliding up your socks, and it’s Friday, so you’re ready to rock. Now, you need a tune to make the rest of your daily routine something special, and what better way than to turn this new JW Francis tune all the way up. There’s something incredibly special about the way this song seems to take the groove, but then force it into an almost working-class Americana; it reminds me a lot of our Austin buds Good Looks. That is until you get to the chorus, where Francis pushes a bit more of a soothing texture through the speakers; I love its rise and fall in there, with just a hint of cool sneaking out too. Another bop from JW!

New music comes hard and heavy during the Spring months, as its the perfect time to set up summer releases and tours. We tried to get to as much as we could, and grabbed 24 new songs for you to settle into on this Monday. New stuff from Austin’s Variety assures the band is still on the rise in my eyes. I’ve been really into the tunes from Bibi Club‘s new LP, and they throw a plot twist with some English sparkle on it; it matches up well with the dark wave from Houses of Heaven. Friends of the site like Gabriel Birnbaum, Kaspar and Snowy Band all had new work to share with the masses., plus be sure you taste the new Babehoven tune hanging out for you at the end. Press play for joy!

JW Francis Shares Turtleneck Weather

Feel like Friday is the perfect day to lock into a new track from JW Francis; his music just feels fitting for looking to the weekend, as he locks into these classic guitar grooves with a really clever vocal delivery. I’m finding that there are definitely elements in this tune that feel like they’re channeling a pop version of Lou Reed, particularly in the style of delivery and some of the playful vocal notes that get added in for extra musical flavor. This single drops today, along with a slew of tour dates as JW makes his way across the country, so be sure to check in if you’re looking for a solid show.

Last Week’s Jams, Today (9.12 – 9.16)

We covered a lot of territory last week, with a few songs not on streaming services (the Persian Leaps/Cindy), so here’s a wrap-up of last week to kick off your Monday morning blues. I was stoked to hear new Intelligence, but I had to start off the playlist with a new track from I Was a King, as its one of my favorites this year. Some cool stuff came our way from the UK, from the likes of European Sun, Chorusgirl and Pete Astor. Meritorio Records had a solid presence with the new Jim Nothing LP stream and a fresh single from Spice World. Plus, we touched up on some bonus Austin sounds from Twain and High Heavens. Stream it all below, friends.

JW Francis Drops New Single ft Margaux

Leave a comment

We’ll be able to get of 2023 with a fresh new album from JW Francis, and with this new hit single, I’m totally ready to drop a dollar or ten on the listen. Francis deep vocals have already appeared on various pages here, hitting with this sort of hip swagger. But, here, you get the maximized hook as his heavy drawl meets up with the contrast of Margaux; her performance is brief, though it drops in this insatiable playfulness to the track that ups the ante on the forthcoming LP. Dream House is scheduled for a January 23rd release, so try on some folky-rock that feels a little bouncy and fresh!
