Last Week’s Jams (12.2 – 12.6)

In a world where folks are rushing to put out their year end lists, so you can debate their tastes, I’m just over here putting out songs with my bud RayRay. We covered a surprising 21 new songs last week, and 22 if you included a tune that’s not on any of the DSPs. Tons of rad Austin stuff like Strange Lot, Gus Baldwin, Lunar Gold…and of course the ATH Records’ own Fantastic Purple Spots. New music from FACS and Sprouts made my week complete, though I also found some soft spots in there you can dig through on the site. Don’t forget to also check out our Rock n’ Recipes with Sasha Bell of the Ladybug Transistor, just in time for their little tour and reissue! We also got to premiere a brand new Gaytheist tune worth your time!

Check Out Lowah’s Stay By You

One of the great things about the holiday season is that I get to sit back and just hang in my feels, which was the perfect place to indulge in listening to Lowah. This Brooklyn artist is dwelling in some cool soft rock vibes, with a slightly reggae front on this single; that little guitar chug got its hooks in me, then left my brain to drift off in the sweet sunny afternoon the song supplied. As the weather in Austin grew up a bit colder, I got to revel in the beach feel, with just enough intimacy on the vocal notes that I could invest in my listening. This song appears on Anything Anymore.

Juanita Stein Shares Motionless

Starting off our Monday with a bit of a different role this week, and rather than pull out a “Last Week’s Jams” with five songs, we’re circling back to the cool stuff we missed, like this new single from Juanita Stein. The British singer just dropped The Weightless Hour, and with that, she’s offered up a visual of album standout “Motionless,” and it’s drifting brand of indie rock definitely caught my ear. You’ll get a slight smokiness, kind of hazy, but brimming with power, much like you’d get from an Angel Olsen or Sharon van Etten, and in that you get a moving performance that we hope gets you to check out her new LP!
