Last Week’s Jams (4.22 – 4.26)

It’s been a strange few weeks if I’m looking at the numbers on our Last Week’s Jams; we’ve run 28 songs for the last three weeks, compiling a fun playlist that runs at 1.5 hours. Well, whatever, time’s on your side my friends. We were fortunate to premiere a couple of stellar tunes this week from the Ar-Kaics and Noelle and Deserters; one offers a crackling fire of psychedelia while the other is a bit more old school western vibes. And, there was the joyous return of Bad Moves! Of course, we also filled the pages with new stuff from Lightheaded, Laughing, Luma Fade, Lunchbox and the Laughing Chimes…you know, all the big Ls! Some Austin love as always via mentions of new records from Don’t Get Lemon and Hovvdy too. Sit back and get into Monday.

Luma Fade Share Portal

After getting introduced to Luma Fade a few weeks back, I’ve kept my eye out for new music, and today, we get another glimpse at the band’s forthcoming Visitor LP. Personally, I was drawn to the bending guitar lines, reminiscent of Pinback’s tones, which were kind of prog-esque blended with an indie rock sensibility. This new single operates in that space for a hot minute, letting the vocals build the emotional tension. You’ll find a dreamy release near the two minute mark as the song begins to unfurl a little bit at a time, leading you to a sprawling end of discordant beauty. Their album Visitor hits on May 24th.

Last Week’s Jams (3.25 – 3.29)

A lot of really great stuff popped up last week, and we did our best to be on top of as much as we could, though admittedly, it’s a bit of a busy season on our parts (life wise). We were stoked to hear some stuff from Austin homies in the Juniper Berries and Strand of Oaks, both offering great new music you’ll love. Zero Point Energy dropped another tune from their exciting debut, as well as new music from Writhing Squares that sees them stretching our expectations of their sound. Plus, got to finally circle back on some things that had been waiting, like Crumbs, System Exclusive and Climax Landers. Oh, and we ran a Rock n Recipes with our friends in Outer World, so be sure to check it. A few acts like Goosewind and Jetstream Pony didn’t have their stuff up on streaming, so be sure to give it a listen if you’d like.

Luma Fade Announce Visitor

Luma Fade is a fairly new act out of Florida, with one LP dropping late last year, and they’ve already turned around to prep another set for May. This current single is really one of those perfect dreamgaze pieces that seemingly works against the genre, refusing to let the tension and build ever get released. Instead, the song just feels weighted by these churning guitar notes that create this pleasurable layer of hazy anxiety. Then, the vocals drift in, like a shadowy figure lurking in the song’s distance, always present, yet never fully stepping into the light. Together, it creates this haunting beauty that swirls with elements of mystery. Keep your ears peeled for Visitor, out on May 24th.
