Last Week’s Jams (5.15 – 5.19)

It was a busy week to start, then as usual at this time of year, I teetered out with our coverage; I blame the fact that I stayed up late to catch a great set from En Attendant Ana. We covered a lot of territory, bringing in an old school song from Heavenly, but with a new video to celebrate. Austin got some love with another great Feeling Small tune, plus some bonus Being Dead coverage popping up in there. ATH faves Melenas announced a new record, so really, we had an all out awesome week on our end. Feel free to stop in and check out what we had going.

Landowner Announces Escape the Compound

Musically I am all over the place today, and this Landowner tune is settling my tastes down, although I’m not sure “settling” is the right word here. The Massachusetts band is offering up a brand of galvanized post-punk. Like many of their peers, the vocals are spoken, almost punched into the ears of the listener. Musically, the danger lives in the dynamism of the rhythm section; the gun fires and this track just takes off, sprinting towards a finish line that never comes, continuously chugging at a speed that would have your feet fumbling beneath you. If its a post-punk race, we’re all winning with stuff like this out there; the band will release Escape the Compound via Born Yesterday on July 21st.
