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.

Pleased to Meet You: Norwegian Blue

There’s nothing like opening up an email, knowing you’re going to love the contents, and such was my day when I found out that Erik from Electric Pop Group had a solo endeavor titled Norwegian Blue. You’re instantly greeted with the bright ringing of guitars, opening up to a softer jangle and a forceful thump beneath the surface. That rhythmic openness is perfect for Erik’s voice, embracing this brilliant warmth, not to mention the added emphasis from the supporting “ba ba ba” that creates this magical charm. No word on we’ll be getting a full-length, but fingers crossed it comes our way real soon. This single arrives courtesy of Matinee Recordings.
