Last Week’s Jams (9.5 – 9.8)

Just because we took Monday off last week, it didn’t mean we were taking it easy; I think I posted 11 things in one day, simply because there’s been so much great jams to get turned onto. Austin had tons of representation with TVs Daniel, Motorsports, Friday Boys, DAIISTAR and Feeling Small, but my own love for Spanish-language pop was made all the better with tunes from Melenas and Mint Field coming our way. Teenage Tom Petties were back for the attack, with a new album announcement. Plus, there’s some reissue news with Kath Bloom and Single Bullet Theory getting coverage. So yeah, music! Whoohoo!

Premiere: New Single From Postdata

If you’re a frequent reader of this here website, you know that I have been a huge fan of Paul Murphy and his musical project known as POSTDATA. He released one of my favorite albums of 2021 featuring hit single “Inside Out” while continuing to be busy this year with two straight jams over the last few months. Before he releases new album Run Wild on September 22nd, we’ve got the title track for you today to add to Murphy’s growing catalogue of hits. And for a special touch, Paul was kind enough to give us a quick Q/A about the new song and album. You can scope that along with the new song after the jump.

Last Week’s Jams (7.17 – 7.21)

We’re still in the middle of a great year of music, and as we hit that sweet spot, there seem to be more tracks coming out every day; we try to cover as much as we can, but admittedly, we’re not perfect! It was really nice to see Emma Anderson of Lush pop her head up with a brand new track from her forthcoming solo LP. Personally, I loved that new Pachyman jam, as that guy rules and I’m totally hoping everyone catches on to his vibe. A little Austin love for Holy Wave who continue to impress with the sounds of their new LP. Then there’s old ATH faves like Pia Fraus and Tan Cologne, plus the Who Is She supergroup making the cut too. Browse, stream, enjoy.

Another Hit From Postdata

Paul Murphy has really been on a tear musically over the last several years with his now full time project known as POSTDATA. A couple of years ago he dropped one of my albums of the year, which included one of my favorite songs of 2021, “Inside Out.” Now into 2023, Murphy has already released the poppier tune “Mine the Sea,” and returns yet again today with this more mellow beauty called “Try.” The track is sure to hit you in the heart feels today as it slowly grows organically into a lovely crescendo with empowering lyrics.

POSTDATA’s new album Run Wild is due out on 9/22 via Paper Bag Records. Pre-orders are live now.

Last Week’s Jams (6.12 – 6.16)

Summer keeps on rolling right along like the hellfire that is Texas, and the song’s just keep hitting that sweet spot. Had some old acts make a return this past week with Devendra Banhart and Sigur Ros making the cut, but also excited to see old ATH Records act Being Dead with their banging new single. Along the way we had some hits from Night Beats, Dippers, Kindsight and Sonny & the Sunsets…to name but a few of the bands we can’t seem to stop covering on our end. A good little 20 song collection for you to kick off your day here!

POSTDATA Returns with New Single & Video

Back about 2 years ago, Nova Scotian musician Paul Murphy released his third stunning LP Twin Flames under his recording moniker POSTDATA. Much to my delight, Murphy just announced his fourth LP away from Wintersleep and has also brought with it this new single “Mine the Sea.” Not surprisingly, the track offers a breath of lightness with hints of joy and love within the driving pop sounds. GEM.

This song will appear on the new album Run Wild due out in September on Paper Bag Records.

New Single & Video From POSTDATA

Our Canadian friend Paul Murphy, under his side project known as POSTADA, recently released his third album entitled Twin Flames just a few short weeks ago. If for some reason you slept on the release, might I suggest you check out his latest single/video, “Inside Out”, and give the album another chance. This song is one of my highlights from the new LP as it features a somewhat Americana inspiration, but with some incredible pop sensibilities as well. A truly stunning tune.

Twin Flames from POSTDATA is on sale now via Paper Bag Records.

New Tunes from Postdata

h1jq_postdata_7Paul Murphy spends the majority of his musical career in Wintersleep, an award winning band from Canada.  But, this time around, he’s decided to work with his brother under the moniker Postdata. Their self-titled release will hit stores on January 26th, and  you will want to give this band a thorough going-over.  This tune, “Tobias Grey” has a deep acoustic tone, but a wintry vocal that one can only associate with a group from the vast wilderness that is Canada.  It’s a short tune, but one rich in emotion, so listen til the end.
