Last Week’s Jams (2.17 – 2.21)

Even with Presidents Day offering a slow musical roll, we covered a ton of music last week, at least in our brains. There were some standout tunes from the likes of Triathalon, Now and Scrounge…but also got to hear from one of our old favorites, Pia Fraus. We started to dip our toes back into the SXSW scene, with RayRay grabbing an interview from Gold Star. Then we made sure to rep our friends in Keeled Scales, who had a big week with new Will Johnson and Emily Hines. You’ll get to hear some off the beaten path post-punk from Private Lives and Low Monroe. Speaking of the Low Monroe tune, it’s strange that the two longest tracks on the playlist are both Aussies (the other from Tropical Fuck Storm), and they’re both labeled to have an identical running time. Who knows what that’s about. Press play below.

Mould Share Snails Single

Have a feeling my listening is going to be all over the map today, so why not throw Mould‘s new riotous jam right in the mix? The immediacy of this track is felt almost instantly, with guitars and drums greeting you, shoving you right through the door before you even get a chance to catch your breath. They tie that into the vocals, with all pieces feeling like they’re running rampant about your living space, with those thunderous drum sounds pounding on your ear drums. But, it’s not all furious paced joy, as they break it all down for a gang vocal pop explosion, which is one of the things that makes this song so joyful. They release their Almost Feels Like a Purpose EP on April 24th via 5dB Records.
