Last Week’s Jams (4.21 – 4.25)

While the week certainly felt overly busy on my end, we perhaps didn’t cover as much ground as we generally do. That said, we have over an hour of music to provide you, which is missing new stuff from Monnone Alone and Wine Country, so there’s more from last week on the site. We were also prepping for Austin Psych Fest, so you had preview pieces from Dummy and Blackwater Holylight; they went along perfectly with our coverage of the Melvins/Napalm Death Austin show.You’ll find new stuff from Gelli Haha, Strange Pilgrim and more, so just click play and let us do the rest!

Red Birds Share For Show + Drop New Album

As we mentioned earlier, today is going to be one of those huge release days, and so I’ll try to look at the folks under the radar, like Maryland outfit Red Birds. My initial draw here on the featured track was the solemnity of the guitar tones; you can easily hear where this would have slid right alongside any number of slowcore acts of the late 90s (I’m thinking Bedhead). But, where this differs is the power of singer Zoe August’s voice; she embraces an almost traditional folk delivery, setting her next to any number of huge stars like Merce Lemon or Waxahatchee. Intermingling texture, pace and beautiful vocals makes the entirety of Things We Thought We Were Done With a very special listen, and it’s available to jam today if you jump HERE.
