Last Week’s Jams (10.28 – 11.1)

Just when we thought the year was dragging to a close, we managed to find enough hits to fall in love with and make you a proper playlist! We even have a few of the tracks we covered from Maneater and Boyracer missing, so be sure to check those out. I loved the opening song from Prism Shores; it’s definitely a bright spot on last week, along with the reemergence of Mogwai on the scene. We managed to get in some Austin love for Whalers and Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, not to mentioned representing for the local festival with Levitation interviews from Hello Mary and the Strange Lot. Plus, our pal Michael Maly was able to swing some coverage for Air‘s 25th Anniversary performance of Moon Safari, giving me a chance to slide “Sexy Boy” into yet another playlist. Check it all out below.

Circling Back to Mystic Toad’s World of Destruction

It’s nearly impossible for me to cover everything out there, so I sometimes let cool things slip under the radar, like the latest LP from Mystic Toad. This Atlanta artist just recently released World of Destruction, and you’re going to find it really hard not to trip over the delicious guitar sound on the song below. I love how it has this post-punk bob to it, though everything from the vocal pieces seems to work in contrast to it, creating this perfect juxtaposition between ornate indie and pop. This tune encompasses all the feels on the record, moving back and forth between the confines of all our favorite indie genres, so press play and find your own piece of joy.
