Last Week’s Jams Today (8.29 – 9.2)

Strangely, I felt like we didn’t cover a ton of territory last week, but then I noticed we have quite a playlist, and that’s even with a few jams not quite making the streaming services of choice. I opened the playlist with “It Keeps Happening” from Germany’s Matching Outfits; I couldn’t stop playing the tune all week, so I figured it was best up front. We also got new stuff from forever-faves like Peel Dream Magazine and the Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness. Stoked on both the new Eerie Wanda and Submotile tunes, and RayRay loved that latest Disq tune. Settle in for the day and turn it up nice and loud.

KT Laine Shares Dumpster Fire

When I first heard the latest single from KT Laine I was really drawn to her voice; it has this sort of soaring bravado like Angel Olsen, though with a bit more sharpness to it. But, the more I spin it, the more that guitar line just feels like it fits naturally into my everyday jamming sessions. It’s like a heavy jangle of sorts, giving the song this swinging swagger that successfully sends shivers your way. Still, Laine’s confidence, even when penning self-deprecating lines, is precisely why you stick around until the very end. A rad tune, and a relatively new artist to keep on your radar.
