Last Week’s Jams (10.20 – 10.24)

Not sure what it was, but for some reason, just didn’t get a ton of new stuff out into the world last week, though I’ll admit, sometimes life takes precedence. We were fortunate enough to grab some new tracks from our favorite Austin acts like Annabelle Chairlegs and Daphne Tunes, not to mention a little show coverage for Nations of Language/Deeper over at Mohawk too. There was some new stuff I thought was really special from No Lonesome and Hush, and then Optic Sink dropped a slow burner that I’ve had on repeat for a few days now. Feel like last week was very much a quality over quantity, but you be the judge.

No Lonesome Share Am I What I’m Not EP

Chicago’s always got a lot of solid acts that should be on your radar, and No Lonesome are just another in a long line of artists to adore; they released their Am I What I’m Not EP this past week, and here we are to revisit. I chose the tune to spotlight below as it has this broad approach, which is one you’ll find lurking in the release; it opens lightly, almost in a baroque pop fashion as horn arrangements swell in the background. You’ll find a marching pace that keeps the beat, though they don’t move in with the tension as one would expect, holding back just a bit so that the build feels absolutely huge. If that big swell doesn’t hit, then reach out to a neighbor as you might be in need of some help!
