Last Week’s Jams, Today (9.6 – 9.9)

Leave a comment

Last week came and went in a flash, but there were definitely a few hits we wanted to remind you about that were on our radar. Two relatively unknown acts on our radar finally dropped their LPs, so be sure to listen to the hits from Pet Owner and Tin-ear. I was fortunate to see a sneak Voxtrot warm-up set before they head out on the road for a quick reunion tour, so made sure I included a jam in there. Plus, you’ve got new stuff from Winter and the Smashing Times, so there’s just 14 quick hits for you to digest this morning.

Stream Pet Owner’s Natural Behavior

Leave a comment

I’ve spent the last few months encouraging you to spend some time with Switzerland’s Pet Owner, and now, you can stream the project’s new album, Natural Behaviour in its entirety. We’ve previously covered tracks “Hi-Res” and “Helping Hand,” but rest assured you can dive into all sorts of vibes; I know I’ve been gravitating towards “Soft Body” on my listens, but the slow build of “Sugar Rush” isn’t a bad route to travel either. Take a little bit of time out of your day right now, kick back and enjoy the craft of Lea Mathis and her Pet Owner project.

Think you missed something awesome last week? Well you very well might have, and we did our best to cover what we were into all week long. Great to hear new stuff from the forthcoming Eerie Wanda record, as well as news that we were getting a new Robert Sotelo LP before the year wraps up. Melby might have dropped the greatest jam that hasn’t quite broken over here in the States, despite its brilliance. Oh, and RayRay caught up with Peter Matthew Bauer for an interview and premiere of a new single! So, go back and revisit the jams from last week!

Pet Owner Shares Hi-Res Single

Lea Mathis’ Pet Owner project has been on our radar for months now, with an expected album out somewhere at the end of this year, or early next year. Today, I’m really happy to share with you the next single installment, which puts Mathis craft in a world not too far off from the likes of Beach House or Aldous Harding. Interesting, the vocal work on this tune, while special, almost feels like its crafted to build in another texture to the tracks groovy rhythm. I can also hear where Broadcast or Stereolab fanatics might find enjoyment here, particularly in the way the song almost seems like an electronic mediation. More great stuff from the Swiss artist.

Was a bit of a hectic week, as I was out of town for a good part of last week, so RayRay helmed things solo, keeping you up to date with new jams from The Berries and Sorry. I crept in towards the end of the week with recent favorites like Key Out and Scarves, but I was most excited to hear new music from Bubblegum Lemonade hitting the airwaves! Oh! And a brand new album out of the blue from Neil Brogan! I mean, it was a short week coverage-wise, but some surefire jams to listen to in here.

Pet Owner Share Helping Hand Single

Leave a comment

Listening to the latest single from Swtizerland’s Pet Owner, there’s an awful lot of cool stuff at play, and a lot of it feels right at home in the current indie scene. I mean, the light-hearted strum of the guitar with the breezy vocal floating effortlessly atop the mix really seems like it was made for this moment. That being said, what actually caught me was the little nuances in the distance of the tune; there’s an almost constant bit of fuzz feeding through your speakers, spliced with space age noodles wiggling in through the mixture. Ordinary indie fare this is not, so enjoy a little pushing of the edges.
