Last Week’s Jams (12.2 – 12.6)

In a world where folks are rushing to put out their year end lists, so you can debate their tastes, I’m just over here putting out songs with my bud RayRay. We covered a surprising 21 new songs last week, and 22 if you included a tune that’s not on any of the DSPs. Tons of rad Austin stuff like Strange Lot, Gus Baldwin, Lunar Gold…and of course the ATH Records’ own Fantastic Purple Spots. New music from FACS and Sprouts made my week complete, though I also found some soft spots in there you can dig through on the site. Don’t forget to also check out our Rock n’ Recipes with Sasha Bell of the Ladybug Transistor, just in time for their little tour and reissue! We also got to premiere a brand new Gaytheist tune worth your time!

QUINQUIS Shares Morwreg

This might be the final piece from my catch up game, and what a doozy! QUINQUIS is the project of Emilie Quinquis, and she’s combining her entrancing vocals with a deep love of pulsating electronica. She pulls out her voice first, selling you on its majesty, all as a subtle beat begins to build beneath the surface; it doesn’t cover the voice completely, careful not too overplay itself. But, there’s a moment around the 2 minute mark where the beat gets to shine on its own, heavy and thumping, with a blinking bit of percussive samples barking at you over the top of a budding synth line…and then the vocals drop back in to finish the job. All of this brought to us courtesy of Mute.
