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!

Pocket Full of Crumbs Drop In My Hands I Hold a Lucky Cricket

Another week and another great track from San Francisco and Cherub Dream Records. First, I’d like to applaud CDR for dropping releases on old school Tuesdays; I hate Friday drop dates for albums. Now…the below song from Pocket Full of Crumbs offers the perfect blend of slacker ethos and grungy vibes that rattle the speakers upon pressing play, which is a lot of what you’re going to expect when you press play on In My Hands I Hold a Lucky Cricket. Those of us inclined to love crashing discord will certainly hear the appeal, while the vocals settle you down; it’s like a scene where the vocals are the kid on the couch while the rest of the world swirls and moves in double speed around them. Loving this jam, so crank it up and stream the whole LP.

Last Week’s Jams (6.17 – 6.21)

What started off as a slow week quickly hit hard once the Softies announced their return to the scene after a few decades away. While that may have overshadowed my personal adoration, there was still plenty of cool things to jam out to, or so I thought. The Teenage Tom Petties take on a power pop version of doo-wop, while Chime School announced what seems to be the purest of jangle pop record ever to exist. We had some outsider stuff too that I was super into, like the new Robber Robber single…plus some 7 degrees of Austin made easy with new music from Blood and Lunar Vacation. And, if you need sweet pop feels, try out the new 7ebra or Emma Russack jams. All in all, some great new finds for you here, if you’ll only press play.

Pocket Full of Crumbs Share In My Home

While I’d love to pigeonhole the entire scene from San Francisco, you clearly can’t define a town by its largest exports, as shows by Pocket Full of Crumbs. Rather than offer up the dreamy nature that’s been a scene highlight, they’re bringing in something that feels a bit more menacing, running with these growling guitars that are reminiscent of the earliest Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr LPs. I suppose if you listen to the set up, there’s still an abstract dreaminess that runs through, guided by the velvety vocal notes that run right through. This track appears on In My Hand I Hold a Lucky Cricket, out July 16th via Cherub Dream Records.
