Last Week’s Jams (9.16 – 9.20)

Leave a comment

A ton of new music dropped this past week, and as usual, we were on-hand to cover the stuff sliding under the radar of the cognoscenti. We had a few premieres, like the latest from UVTV, which finds the band slowing things down and exploring the shadowy tones of dreampop. I made sure to hype one of my favorite releases of the month, Mo Dotti, which I’m hoping is on the way to my doorstep any day. Still, some of our favorite labels Meritorio and Bobo Integral dropped new tunes from Slack Times and The Psych Fis, and we filled in the gaps with popular favorites like 2nd Grade and Greg Mendez, among many others. Just press play and send a thank you letter.

Mornings are all about setting you up for your day, and for me, the new Photay tune does the perfect job of setting you up, then rolling out from under your feet. It’s like breakfast, where you get a little sample, you ride it out, then you bound at the door with a new sense of energy that’s meant to carry you through the day. The shifts that you’re presented with are definitely subtle, often emphasized by a punch up in the beat or a kind of kick that sets a new twist in motion. Every step of the way, there’s a bit of encouragement, pronounced volume, snappier drum sample, etc, and all of it helps the storytelling without ever whispering a word. Look for Windswept, the new LP, this Friday.

I reckon we have a few more months of solid hits before the world settles into Year End Lists or what not, and while I may be swamped, I’m really enjoying the great music that just keeps pumping out. This week we had all sort of old favorites and new, with our pals in Humdrum announcing a new LP, while other reliables like APTBS were doing their thing. Really got into the new stuff from Weak Signal and Mo Dotti, not to mention that lovely track from Little Oso. And then, we were able to close out the week with Jim Nothing and Dancer dropping fresh songs? Yeah, just out here crushing it!

There’s nothing like getting yourself caught up in the week, so before you dive into Wednesday, let Photay mesmerize you with this spiritual bit of electronica…along with its accompanying visual adventure. While some of the beat-work recalls the drum n’ bass constructs, there’s this open nature to the tune’s evolution, kind of building it into this electronic score for some scientific documentary piece. Some robotic vocal moments spring up in the track’s latter half, just like a bud sprouting from the cracked Earth. This tune appears on Windswept, which drops on September 20th.

After a brief vacation, I apparently over-indulged while RayRay was out on the town, hitting up nearly 30+ songs, and some of those, like the premiere we ran for legendary Refrigerator, aren’t even on streaming platforms, so you have to go find em’ on the site! Austin had a big week, with acts like Club Coma, Liz Burrito, Voxtrot, Font and Letting Up Despite Great Faults throwing out some new jams. But, don’t think San Francisco/Oakland were game for being overshadowed, with Tony Jay, Sad Eyed Beatniks, Chime School, Fake Fruit and Parallel all dropping new jams. So, this is nearly 2 hours of really really great music, so sit back, press play, and escape the madness, albeit for a brief moment.

Wednesdays, am I right? Well, I’m trying to settle back into a routine after a little vacation, and with that, this Photay is a steady little electronic tune that lets you sit back as the synthetic waters nip at your toes. For the first two minutes, the beat’s fairly understated, and the vibe careful, but crossing that mark and you get a bit more of a bump in the song’s latter half, shining a little light into your day. It’s a subtle tune of relaxed craft, so wanted to be sure you had your feet under you as you settled into the midweek. This single features on the new LP, Windswept, out in September!
