Last Week’s Jams (10.20 – 10.24)

Not sure what it was, but for some reason, just didn’t get a ton of new stuff out into the world last week, though I’ll admit, sometimes life takes precedence. We were fortunate enough to grab some new tracks from our favorite Austin acts like Annabelle Chairlegs and Daphne Tunes, not to mention a little show coverage for Nations of Language/Deeper over at Mohawk too. There was some new stuff I thought was really special from No Lonesome and Hush, and then Optic Sink dropped a slow burner that I’ve had on repeat for a few days now. Feel like last week was very much a quality over quantity, but you be the judge.

Magic Fig Share Flammarion

Somewhere in the realm of dreamy psychedelia lives the sounds of Magic Fig; they’ve incorporated little sprinkles of electronic dreamy pop, not too far off from a Stereolab, then filled the noise behind with these little nods to prog rock and psychedelia. It creates this sense of wonderment that continuously has you rewinding to see if you can revisit the nuanced notes beneath the surface. Around the 4 minute mark you get this guitar excursion, which seemed really fitting, kind of letting the song cascade out to a blissful close. The group should certainly be on your radar as they prepare to release Valerian Tea on November 21st via Exploding in Sound.

Last Week’s Jams (9.29 – 10.3)

As we poured through B. Gray’s photo coverage of Levitation, we also were able to get in some pretty solid tracks, even a premiere here and there, so a pretty busy week on our side. We did some Austin repping with that new Mugger tune on Friday, if you dare to let it rip! Dropped brand new stuff from Strange Passage, Marni and the Lions Constellation, all which are worthy of your listening. Plus, even got to stretch our taste a bit with the likes of Greg Weeks, Devin Shaffer and Magic Fig, so feel free to step outside the confines of today’s indie rock playlist!

Magic Fig Announce Valerian Tea LP

What a delightful way to slide into the middle of the week, especially after spending a weekend Levitating; there’s a new Magic Fig LP on the horizon for us all to enjoy. They take a poet approach to psychedelia, almost kind of like they’re loping about in a field filled with tall grasses and flowers; the song’s fleshed out with all sort of other little flourishes, with the group traipsing into new sonic territory with every little corner they turn. For instance, the middle of the song begins to take on this haunted mansion mentality, furthered by a vocal from beneath the seas…though it just as quickly turns into this blissed ballad of sunlight that highlights the future of great pop. Look for Valerian Tea via Exploding in Sound Records on November 21st.
