Last Week’s Jams (4.24 – 4.28)

I felt like I let you down last week, having only really covered about 17 new songs, but in that, we tried to make sure there were some burners in there that would get you excited. What better way to start off this week’s recap than bringing you the world’s best power pop outfit, The High Water Marks and their new single. We got a new RVG tune, which is never a bad place to be, plus Beach Fossils continued to show their growth on the new LP. And, it wouldn’t be us if there was no Austin contingent, so we ran an acoustic session from Redbud, plus the latest from Dress Warm. Take a listen.

Mox Share Melanie; Drop Heart LP

If you woke up today looking for a little mellow slide into the musical world, something along the lines of the early Alex G stuff, then might I suggest you try on California’s Mox. A simple bass line with accompanying piano opens the tune before a quick little drum snap and heavy riff really kick the song forward. There’s a constant twist and turn here, with softened vocal bits battling it out against this chopping riff that rings out to break up verse lines. I loved the breakdown, a lyrical promise to support “Melanie,” that came across offering a different sonic feel, which eventually turned into just a slight step into the weird…all things I love. Mox just dropped Heart, courtesy of Cherub Dream Records.
