Last Week’s Jams (8.11 – 8.15)

It was a pretty busy week on my end, heading back into the school room and what not, but lots of great music making its way to our ears. Kicking it off with one of my favorite tracks of the year, with the latest single from Sorry, but then moves in to hear our friends I Was a King dabbling in the softer side of power-pop. Plus, the folks at Skep Wax and Slumberland keep pumping out the hits with new music from The Cords and Telephone Numbers. Really excited for you to hear the newest single from Austin’s Living Set too, if you missed it by accident; there’s another Austin act in there too named the Point, you might want to check if you’re into stretching your musical brain! Click play and see what’s up.

One Final Marissa Nadler Tune

As I spend my morning bouncing all over the musical map, it feels fitting that we should also slide into this striking Marissa Nadler tune before her new album drops on Friday. The black and white video accompaniment sets the cinematic nature of the track right before the listener; it almost feels like the tune was written for the video, drifting as images melt into the new, with Nadler’s voice cloaking it all with the resonant beauty. Each careful musical note seems placed lightly, careful to greet the audience with emotion, only to open it up as Marissa let’s her voice coil around your brain. Such a striking tune, and yet another reason to grab New Radiations, out Friday via Sacred Bones/Bella Union.
