Last Week’s Jams (4.28 – 5.2)

One third of the year is behind us now, and so we’re getting towards that moment when arbitrary best of 2025 lists began to pop up, but we’re keeping our eyes on the prize, focusing on new music, however it comes. There were some definite bonus tunes coming our way, like new Stereolab, as they prep for their forthcoming LP. Slumberland continued their great 2025 by announcing a new Autocamper LP (along with Safe Suburban Home). Personally, I was really excited to hear that Far Caspian has a new one on the way, as I loved the single shared this week. Perennial favorite acts also dropped new singles, so you’ll hear ditties from The High Water Marks, the Beths, Provoker and the Serfs. Give a little listen and start making your own mid-year list!

Public Health Share F Around

I am hoping that the title of this track is telling us to (F)un around, as I feel like the Fuck Around trope is a little tired. And, if you crank up this song from Public Health, you’re going to have just the right amount of fun to make today a killer one. Initially, I heard some synthetic post-punk, akin to early Blank Dogs, though I felt that came via the structured loop of the drums and dancing of the guitar lines. But, in that, I also hear how Alex Moxam makes his vibe a little different, sprinkling in the appropriate twist of melody into it, lifting the song into what can only be described as a wee bit more joyous and light. Tune in and see if you’re into it!

Last Week’s Jams (7.15 – 7.19)

After a rather mellow preceding week, this past one hit hard with some bigs hits for us on our end. We took some time out to reach out to our friend Andy from Chime School, grabbed a quick interview and a vegan chili recipe. Fell in love with a couple of great new pop tunes from the likes of Sassyhiya and Sumos, plus that Casual Technicians wasn’t too shabby either. Repped some album love for Crack Cloud, Manners Manners, Julia Sophie, Immortal Nightbody, Red Jacket and Nightshift too. Plus, good solid Austin contingent getting love with new music from Being Dead, Hallo and Blood (Austin adjacent, right?). Dig in and find a cool tune below.

Public Health Share Pain Girl

There’s so many great tunes coming out left and right today, that you’re best served if you dive into this one right now. For some reason, this feels like something that would have come around during the heyday of Grandaddy or the Glands. That said, there’s this underlying element of noisiness that pervades, giving the song more of current status, bridging saccharine indie rock vibes with more modern flourishes that elevate the tune beyond mere nods to the past. You’ll find that you won’t be able to escape the innate sunshine built right into this song. If you’re loving it, be sure to keep an eye on Public Health going forward.

Last Week’s Jams (12.12 – 12.16)

The end is near my friends, at least for 2022. We’ll likely be popping in and out over the holidays, but songs (and motivation) will be minimal, so don’t expect too much from us on our end. That said, we do have one last Last Week’s Jams to run for you, with a solid amount of hits. I left out all the Best Of lists…but do check out RayRay’s Best Songs and my Top 50 Albums, if you’re so inclined. I made sure to cover the new Galore EP and Fine. LP, plus we got lots of all around jams from the likes of Classic and Packs and more. Browse, listen to it all. Do you. See ya with more jams in 2023!

Public Health Release Still Too Late Single

Somewhere out in Philly, Alex Moxam’s sitting in a darkened room, working on new material for his Public Health project. I imagine that there’s either a candle or a cigarette burned to the butt with ash (though I hope not because the band is called Public Health!), and Alex is just plugged into his four track, strumming these deeply emotional riffs. On the surface, things seem a little light, flourishes of ambiance leaking into the recording. Suddenly, it all comes together, and the guitars light up, with Alex reaching out to you with an intimate vocal performance. Ultimately, it feels like something David Berman might have left us, something personal and long-lasting. Give a spin.
