Last Week’s Jams (5.27 – 5.31)

In one of those weeks that magically felt longer than it was, we managed to cover a fair amount of ground, cranking out coverage of at least 20 new tunes for you. Add to that B. Gray’s excellent Kilby Block Party footage and the Levitation Announcement, and, well, we seem like we have our shit together! I loved that there was new stuff from Ryli and Autocamper, both giving me little doses of my pop fix. There was a lot of new stuff, too, that scratched a different itch, with Fortunato Durutti Marinetti announcing a new LP, coinciding with a fresh track from the new Tropical Fuck Storm LP. A bit all over the map, but in the best way. Let us know what you loved the most.

Loon Release Slow Your Roll

One of the great things about a healthy music scene is that it generally is not defined by one sound, so while we gravitate towards the dreamy pop of the San Francisco area, Loon remind us that there’s a history of really great folk rock bubbling that has roots in the city. They just dropped their 3-track Slow Your Roll EP, which has little hints of the Dead, particularly if you listen to EP opener “Bitter.” But, I love the heavy vocals of “City Thing,” which we’ve got streaming for you below. That lonesome guitar fits perfectly into my pocket, and even with the weight of the voice, there’s this slight little bit of playfulness in the annunciation, giving off a little bit of light that will shine into your world. Click play and enjoy another a San Francisco treat.
