Last Week’s Jams (9.15 – 9.19)

ATH got her groove back! Okay, maybe not entirely, but feel like we’ve gotten some solid coverage this week, bringing you some stuff that the other hit promoters might have missed. I wanted to start the playlist off this week with the new single from Massage, as that track made me rush out and count my quarters to grab a copy. RayRay reminded us that Shy Boys are still a force to be reckoned with, while B.Gray is out there encouraging those remaining tickets for Levitation to get picked up. Otherwise, we’re a little all over the place, stylistically, moving between the post-punk of Optic Sink and electronica of Sam Prekop to the quiet beauty of Greg Jamie; there’s a little something for everyone if you click play below!

Sam Prekop Shares Open Close

It is a funny thing when worlds collide. Today, I finally got down to cover the new Sam Prekop tune, and as I unwrapped it, reflected on my classroom lesson today; I’m making a bunch of 13 year olds create narrative poems by listening to instrumental music. This track is wonderful, and I wish I had it during my lesson; the tune just sort of rises and trickles carefully, with little pulses awakening the senses. I thought there were some cool structural changes and peculiar blips and boops that ran into the track’s latter half If you need my lesson plan, don’t hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, keep an ear out for the new LP, Open Close, dropping on September 26th via Thrill Jockey.
