Last Week’s Jams (3.31 – 4.4)

While we covered a lot of territory, I’ll admit that there’s definitely a shadow hanging over last week’s jams, namely the much-hyped return of Allo’ Darlin. I also had to go back and make sure I added in that Day Friend to the list, as that’s one of my favorite ATX acts. Plus, the return of ATH faves the High Water Marks makes another weekly highlight, and now that I’m thinking about it…there’s just a ton of rad stuff here. We got other Austin stuff represented with a new single from Thor & Friends, not to mention this really great introduction to the Pennys (which has some ATX connections). Also, some photos of Hey Nothing ran with a show review, so we threw up their latest single too! Stream it all below!

Lily Seabird Shares Arrow Single

I was fortunate to catch Lily Seabird do a set two years ago at a SXSW show, and ever since then, her name’s been on my radar, and I’ve been especially excited with Trash Mountain ready to drop this week. But, before we’re there, Lily has one more album teaser to get us excited. For me, the fragility of her vocal performance on this tune is one of the many reasons her work is so special; it feels like her soul’s cracking as each note escapes her mouth. Plus, this song builds and builds, rising spectacularly into this full explosion of folk songwriting, buoyed by the arrangement of those who worked on the song. Trash Mountain hits Friday via Lame-O Records.

Last Week’s Jams (10.7 – 10.11)

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.

Lily Seabird Signs to Lame-O Records

After the excellent Alas dropped, it makes sense that Vermont’s Lily Seabird would pop up more often in the scene, and with that, she’s announced today that she’s signed with Lame-O Records. The label will reissue that LP, with a bonus Acoustic EP, featuring two new songs, one which we’ve got below. You’ll press play, then you’ll be hurtled into the depths of the songwriting, as careful strums accent the striking vocal performance; it has this huge personality, though if you listen carefully, you can almost hear the vocals as they’re pulled from the depths of Lily’s soul. If you. missed Alas, then you can stream it all HERE. The reissue will be out on November 15th.
