Last Week’s Jams (9.30 – 10.4)

It’s always strange when I feel like I didn’t do a good job covering new jams, yet I end the week with 20 or more new tunes we’ve tried to get you to crank up…and last week was definitely one of those…feel like I barely dipped my toes in the pond of goodness. Alas, there were some great tunes for you, particularly if you’re into the Australian scene, with new stuff from both Pop Filter and Skegss, not to mention the Oceanic adjacent Jim Nothing. Naked Roommate threw down an end of Summer block party, while Austin’s Cast of Thousands let us say hello to some old friends. Tons of stuff to indulge upon here, so feel free to let me know what I might have missed along the way.

Red Sleeping Beauty’s October Pop Single

What a treat this year has been for fans of the Swedish pop outfit, Red Sleeping Beauty, and here we are in October with their new single from their monthly pop series. This is a heavy synth wash, working really carefully by driving a heavy bubble beneath the smoothed vocal delivery. Vocals and drum samples weave in and out, with synthetic musical spotlights shining through to put a little shine on the hooks that drive the band’s sound. The sad thing? There’s only two more months of delicious pop, and we’re salivating to hear what’s in store before 2024 wraps up.

September Single from Red Sleeping Beauty

You have to commend our friends in Sweden, Red Sleeping Beauty. They promised a brand new track every month this year, and here we are with the 9th installment, as we’re hitting September. This one has a different vibe somehow, while still feeling connected to previous 8 months of work. Something in the confines of this song just seems a little more organic, and perhaps less propulsive; I like that it has that earmark of synths, but still feels like a fresh take that’s blossoming by putting that sound in the background a little. As promised, we’ll be back next month with the latest installment from your personal Red Sleeping Beauty PR team!

Last Week’s Jams (8.5 – 8.9)

Another week, and another weird day where I posted more than one person should, but alas, there has been a lot of really great music of late. So, below you’ve got our weekly playlist, sort of summing up where we ended last week, before we head into this new one. We had a really great Rock n’ Recipe interview with former ATX band Blood, plus some more local love for Letting Up Despite Great Faults. Covered some great new music from Naked Roommate, Wut and Lunar Vacation, then ended the week with one of my favorite acts, Constant Follower. There’s tons of music in between too, and we’ll be back again with more following these messages.

Red Sleeping Beauty Share August Single

Every month we get a new track from Red Sleeping Beauty, and you know what, I might have taken that for granted, as I didn’t slide into their August single until the 3rd of the month! So, here I am aiming to rectify my error by sharing that new single with you today. This one’s a slow electro burn, working with a synthetic pulse that rides beneath the surface; the core vocals here lead to this track’s international flavor, offering three distinctive language, although I can only understand the Spanish and English. As always, they take all their tricks and weave it into this basket of sugary treats that keeps us coming back month after month to celebrate the band’s Song a Month Single Series.

Required Red Sleeping Beauty Listening

Every day at the beginning of each month, you’re asked (and encouraged) to indulge in the new single from Swedes Red Sleeping Beauty; they continue to crank out a song a month for all you pop aficionados. This one’s all sugar, instantly intoxicating inclined listeners with the vibrant melody that opens into bright harmonizing as the whole team joins in; there’s a brief moment when it almost feels like they’re channeling early New Pornographers with Neko singing…it has that sort of charm to it. It’s brief and shiny, like a new toy that you’ll want to wear out in a matter of days…but rest assured they’ll (and we’ll!) be back to report on it in August!

Red Sleeping Beauty Return with Summer House

It’s the start of the month, so that means we get to celebrate a new tune from Red Sleeping Beauty, as they continue with their “One Single a Month” series. This go round, the band are delving into a more sedate version of synth pop, as they’ve peeled back the upbeat nature to replace it with a wash of atmosphere and a shining piano line. Going about it in this manner allows the listener to sink into the tune, maybe even cozy up on the couch as you dive into the listen. And, in the end, you’re rewarded with delighting vocal melodies, which really seem to be the band’s bread-and-butter going forward. Bonus news for those collectors is you can grab this tune on the Summer House EP, which you can order from Matinee Recordings.

Last Week’s Jams (4.29 – 5.3)

Well, I somehow managed to break the streak! This week we only have 23 songs to offer instead of the customary 28 per that last four weeks! Alas, I was sick, so were my kids, and a few of the tunes weren’t streaming. So, what did we cover? The good stuff. I was blown away and waxing nostalgic with the new Royal Headache announcement and accompanying single. It was good to see acts like Oh Boland, Neutrals and Stephen’s Shore give me my pop goodies. Plus, Austin powerhouses Urban Heat and Font were out there backing up hype with great new singles. Oh, and did you catch out great Rock n’ Recipe feature with R.E. Seraphin? Well, there’s still plenty to digest below, so enjoy yourselves!

Red Sleeping Beauty Share New York, New Me

It’s the first of the month, and while I tempted to make a Bone Thugs reference, we’ll stick instead with the newest single from Red Sleeping Beauty and their “One Song a Month Series.” This song is all about immediacy, providing a synth-driven line that kicks into a hip-swaying groove. Thematically, the song hits on the ideas of finding a new version of yourself in New York; it can also be seen as a narrative about finding new opportunities when you move somewhere, remaking your whole identity. But, maybe that doesn’t even matter to you, and you just want to get lost in the beat…that opportunity comes just by pressing play below. And, you can hear the other pop hits from the Series by going HERE.

Last Week’s Jams (4.1 – 4.5)

New music comes hard and heavy during the Spring months, as its the perfect time to set up summer releases and tours. We tried to get to as much as we could, and grabbed 24 new songs for you to settle into on this Monday. New stuff from Austin’s Variety assures the band is still on the rise in my eyes. I’ve been really into the tunes from Bibi Club‘s new LP, and they throw a plot twist with some English sparkle on it; it matches up well with the dark wave from Houses of Heaven. Friends of the site like Gabriel Birnbaum, Kaspar and Snowy Band all had new work to share with the masses., plus be sure you taste the new Babehoven tune hanging out for you at the end. Press play for joy!
