Friday Album Streams: Zack Rosen, RPPs, Connections + More
The Spring generally means you’re just going to have to throw down a lot of money and grab record after record after record, so let us throw a few suggestions, or just give you some great stuff to stream, as its Friday, and who really wants to work on a Friday.
Zack Rosen – SYZYGY (Chimera Music)
A struggling artist gone before his time; these songs remind us of the gifts he left behind.
The Reds, Pinks & Purples – The Town That Cursed Your Name (Slumberland/Tough Love)
No one on this planet is writing songs as powerful as Glenn Donaldson.
Connections – Cool Change (Trouble in Mind Records)
If you need a record without a throw-away tune, this is the one.
The Sprouts – Eat Your Greens (Tenth Court)
Australia has a new supergroup, and you have a new favorite band.
Mary Anne’s Polar Rig – Makes You Wonder (Rama Lama Records)
A shapeshifting masterpiece of pop and rock, like if the YYYs, still had that risk factor.
Well, it seems like we finally worked out the kinks in our lives and were able to get a solid week’s worth of jams out your way. Was excited to get that new High Water Marks tune out there, as well as new Monnone Alone, if you like your pop mixed with a bit of punch. New Austin act Daiistar has their first single, plus our old ATX friends Letting Up Despite Great Faults dropped a new single too from their forthcoming EP! There’s tons of other hits from the likes of Deuce and the Golden Dregs too. Unfortunately, new stuff from Mythical Motors and Weird Numbers isn’t quite on the DSPs, so if you like what we’re covering, check those hits too on the site.
Every time the folks at Rama Lama Records send us a new song from 
We had a rough start last week, with a wee bit of server issues…plus getting back into work after some time off. But, we came back to a bunch of sweet tunes from some ATH favorites…new videos from Blues Lawyer and En Attendant Ana, not to mention one that tied up the excellent LP from Doom Flower. I was blown away by another fresh track from Joyeria, and RayRay did a little write up on our friends in Why Bonnie. I was really in love with that Grey Factor tune we ran at the end of the week, but it hasn’t made it onto streaming platforms, so check that out before digging into new EPs from Dippers and Peel Dream Magazine.
