Last Week’s Jam (12.4 – 12.8)

I know you’re all anxiously awaiting our year end collection of favorite songs, but we’re just not there yet! We did run our excellent Top Albums of 2023 last week, and while that’s getting all the headlines, there were tons of great new tracks to enjoy. I was particularly enamored with the new BVs tune, as you knew I would be, not to mention some deserved adoration for the brand new Lamplight track. Local friends Psychic Seatbelt dropped a new EP, so they’re getting some love here, and throwing in a Get Wrong tune to celebrate their EP from a week or so ago. Glad folks still put out music throughout the whole year, not just up until List Week.

New Music from Lions of the Interstate

I’m probably way off here, but Lions of the Interstate feel like the pop brethren to early Sonic Youth. If you listen to their latest single, they offer up that flirtatious noise element, working closely with a driving rhythm that’s continuously pushing the song towards its end. That said, the band seem to lean more towards the melodic center of the track than one might hear from Kim and Thurston. Even as the song’s driving forward, they’re fleshing it out with horns and softened vocals that beg you to come back again and again. If you’re enjoying the vibe, look out for Strange Empires, dropping this Friday!
