Last Week’s Jams (6.9 – 6.13)

I might have cut last week short by taking off Friday in its entirety, as I was hanging in New Orleans with my wife and kids…but I’m pretty sure we packed a fair amount of jams into a short four day work week here. It was good to see my old friends in Other Lives back at it with new music, and offering up an orchestral pop number that’s focused and brief. We featured a couple of great premieres from Forever Star and Dancer, so you can circle back and get hitched onto those two bonkers tunes. Plus, good to see Quin Galavis hitting peak form with a new Living Set tune, so dabble all over and you’ll be able to love a little of it all.

Michael Robert Chadwick Share Dirt Nap

Felt like waking up this morning with some easy listening from Michael Robert Chadwick would be the best way to ease into your Tuesday. He’ll be releasing his latest LP, Illusions of Touch, next Friday, offering up a jazzier brand of indie rock than perhaps you’re accustomed to cranking up. Horns blast in the background throughout, but they’re smoother and sexier, rather than wildly skronking at us. Chadwick’s voice also has a faint resemblance to Sufjan, sort of quiet in the mix, hoping to pull you in through his lyricism and song arrangements. A careful approach to pop, and a welcome reward for us all; be sure to grab the new LP from Anxiety Blanket Records on June 20th.
