Last Week’s Jams (7.15 – 7.19)

For some reason, this past week felt a little slow in terms of new music coming our way, and while I say that, we still cranked out over 20 tracks for you to peruse below. I was super excited for the new track from Low’s Alan Sparhawk, the first music we’ve heard from him since the passing of his Mimi; it was a beautiful piece that shows Alan off on a grand adventure. The Reds, Pinks and Purples snuck in some special new singles, so we’re grateful Glenn got those out into the world. I was stoked on new stuff from Austin’s Marry Cherry, not to mention a new Wut tune that came our way. Kicked off this playlist with my favorite tune, Teenage Tom Petties bringing in the hooks with “Night Nurse.” So, press play and see what you missed out on last week!

Otis Shanty Share Why Do I Care + Announce Up on the Hill

If you’re looking for a new act to tie to your ship, might we encourage you to check in with Boston’s Otis Shanty. The group are set to release their debut album this September, having dropped an EP this past year, and already you can tell how much they’ve grown here. Beginning with this angelic guitar line that seems to fall from the skies, the track quickly moves into offer up the sprawling vocal work of Sadye Bobbette; things seem fairly safe here, but the group throws in some little flares from time to time, illustrating their willingness to mix in various flavors. You’ll hear that in the chorus, blossoming, but then it moves into a sharper drum beat that employs fast cymbal snaps to give the rhythmic push that accelerates the song’s pace. Twist and turn, and back again, you’ll be mesmerized at the freshness amidst the familiarity. Up on the Hill is out September 20th via Relief Map Records.
