Last Week’s Jams (8.7 – 8.11)

Leave a comment

Admittedly, we might have outdone ourselves last week; I’m fairly certain I’m the one to blame. Somehow, we tossed up 40 songs, though a few are unavailable in the streaming sites, so you’ve only got 38 tracks on this week’s playlist. There’s a ton of Austin stuff, with new music from Daiistar, Semihelix, Half Dream and more…obligatory A Giant Dog is in there and such. Plus, still continuously impressed by the magic that is Prewn. Oh, and Australia’s buzzing at the moment, and their music isn’t half-bad either, with new tracks from the Small Intestines and Soft Covers being considered as must listens. So, if you’ve got an hour or two to kill…go on and stream!

Prewn Shares Another Track from Through the Window

Leave a comment

Admittedly, Prewn was not an act on my radar until they signed with Exploding in Sound for their forthcoming Through the Window LP. But, as soon as I heard Izzy Hagerup’s voice, I was mesmerized; there was something so distinctively haunting that I couldn’t get it out of my head. Now the latest single provides that same emotion, her voice rising and falling brilliantly from with the confines of the stripped down approach. While the tune has this cavernous feel, it eventually erupts into this cacophonous world of explorative folk that bends and turns as Hagerup puts her voice on full display. Look for the release to drop on August 25th.

Last Week’s Jams (7.24 – 7.28)

We may have gone a bit overboard last week, as I see that we covered over 25 different tunes last week. But, that being said, we also ran some gosh-darned freaking hits. I loved that new jam from Split System, and have played it well over 50 times at this point. That, and that new track from Prewn pretty much made my week. I mean, there’s new stuff from Woods, Night Drive and all sorts bonus EP coverage for Death Bells and Bedroom Eyes. Plenty of stuff to dig into, so why not get on it, eh?

Prewn Share Perfect World Single

Leave a comment

The power of a voice can sometimes be the only gift you need, which is where I think I first entered my adoration for Prewn and their singer Izzy Hagerup. At times, the voice is smoky and brimming with emotion, yet pulling your ear closer and you hear the fragility and the slight quiver in her delivery; the mixture of the two absolutely sucked me deep into this “Perfect World.” That said, the arrangements that encircle that moving voice do it justice, filling in the space behind just enough to lead us to the musical promised land; you get bending little guitar lines and light percussive tambourine jangles…so if you have a heart, you’re going to be moved here. Look for Prewn to drop Through the Window on August 25th via Exploding in Sound Records.
