Last Week’s Jams (4.24 – 4.28)

Leave a comment

I felt like I let you down last week, having only really covered about 17 new songs, but in that, we tried to make sure there were some burners in there that would get you excited. What better way to start off this week’s recap than bringing you the world’s best power pop outfit, The High Water Marks and their new single. We got a new RVG tune, which is never a bad place to be, plus Beach Fossils continued to show their growth on the new LP. And, it wouldn’t be us if there was no Austin contingent, so we ran an acoustic session from Redbud, plus the latest from Dress Warm. Take a listen.

Los Esplifs Drop Chemistry LP

Leave a comment

Surely you were not expecting that we would be covering some rad cumbia vibes this morning, but after realizing Los Esplifs dropped a surprise LP last week, I had to run and get it up. The Tuscon outfit popped up on my radar back in 2021 with their LP Estraik Back, which has a vibe that feels like it encapsulates all that I love about cumbia, particularly the rhythmic pulse. You get the same on their new LP, Chemistry, though they continue to work in some touches of funk and psychedelia throughout. This is a record that can hopefully get your blood pumping, as it did mine, so sit back and just take a listen to Los Esplifs.

Top Albums of 2021

Honestly, I’m pretty over lists at this point. They’re arbitrary and don’t really reflect anything but someone’s tastes, except here where they reflect the tastes of three individuals…because that’s how we roll. So, take this list with a grain of salt. These are the records we thought were the best, which mostly just means these are the ones we listened to on repeat throughout the year! Feel free to leave a comment on what you think we missed, or why we’re dumb; we love good comment trolls.

Also, because this list is really about crediting the art that made us happy, we wanted it to make you happy too, so we included purchasing links where we could. Read more

Stream Estraik Back from Los Esplifs

Leave a comment

Sometimes I feel like a one man party train for Los Esplifs, but I just can’t get enough of their album Estraik Back. It’s full of these Latin rhythms blended with a modern flare and sprinkles of psychedelia; it’s more or less the perfect record for those willing to step outside the ordinary world of indie rock. Every time I put on a track like “Otro Pais” or “Perro Rabioso,” there’s just this overwhelming sense of freedom; my body and mind just sort of let go and I escape into the music this Tucson outfit has crafted. Here’s to hoping folks take a chance on the full listen; your spirit certainly won’t regret letting go!

Last Week in Music, Today

Leave a comment

Everyone always be trying to wrap up the week with their “Week in Music,” but we’re a little lazier, plus we figured you wanted to slow start your Monday, so why not do it by checking out what we were jamming to last week. So, we’ve put all the singles, plus a few other things we were loving in the mix. That way, you can sit back and just enjoy a fun playlist…and if you weren’t in on it, jump back and see what we had to say. Or don’t. Either way, you can now start your day with this hip playlist. We kick it off with the latest from Los Esplifs, who drop their Estraik Back LP tomorrow for 4/20.

Los Esplifs Share Perro Rabioso

I listen to a whole lot of music, obviously, but I do tend to get stuck on certain albums that dominate my listening. Two records have been stuck in my rotation since early February…the new Reds Pinks and Purples (why don’t you own that already) and Estraik Back, the debut from Los Esplifs. Sure, its possibly not down hipster central, stylistically speaking, but who really gives a fuck out there. It just feels like a party to me, like there’s this natural celebratory nature to the craft; I’m constantly swaying my hips and shuffling my feet, even sitting here in my desk. There just aren’t a lot of bands that give me the feels like this lot…just wanna go to that restaurant and celebrate with them. Look for their debut on 4/20!

I have a feeling not enough of you are listening to Los Esplifs, and I wish I could change that, so I’m sharing the band’s latest single here. The band are working under the moniker of cumbia meets psychedelia, so admittedly, that’s sort of right up my alley…just ask all the folks at my wedding! I love the rhythmic element of this tune, sounding like a steady horse-gallop, one of the signature sounds of the genre. Vocals are precise, but they never feel like they’re in the way of the primal nature of this tune, letting your body move in step with each little note as it glides through your speakers; it’s called dancing and you’ll get used to it. Honestly, the music in the indie sphere’s gotten a bit stale, so mix it up this bunch; their debut LP, Estraik Back, drops on 4.20.

Los Esplifs Share Otro Pais

Everyone’s lamenting the break-up of Daft Punk, but if you really want to hit the dance floor with your partner, then you better have the DJ turn up this great new track from Los Esplifs. This tune employs tons of the cumbia flare, all the way down to the way backing gang vocals; you can feel the focus on the rolling rhythm, intent upon a quick little turns of your feet while twirling your partner. For me, I love that this sort of stuff is getting a little indie credibility, as there’s this purity in the craft of such music; it’s not quite as formulaic as your traditional indie flare, thus it really revolves around the core of the players and orchestrators. Really excited to hear Estraik Back, the band’s new LP on April 20th.
