Last Week’s Jams (5.27 – 5.31)

In one of those weeks that magically felt longer than it was, we managed to cover a fair amount of ground, cranking out coverage of at least 20 new tunes for you. Add to that B. Gray’s excellent Kilby Block Party footage and the Levitation Announcement, and, well, we seem like we have our shit together! I loved that there was new stuff from Ryli and Autocamper, both giving me little doses of my pop fix. There was a lot of new stuff, too, that scratched a different itch, with Fortunato Durutti Marinetti announcing a new LP, coinciding with a fresh track from the new Tropical Fuck Storm LP. A bit all over the map, but in the best way. Let us know what you loved the most.

Sea Dramas Release Every Problem Created for Us

Here were are on a Friday with another single from a San Francisco band, although Sea Dramas are taking the whole “fog pop” sound into their own hands, channeling a mix of baroque crooners into their sound. At times, you can grab wisps of acts like the Clientele, especially if you jump into “Brooding Teenagers;” it reminds me of something Richard Hawley would write, backed by these sweeping arrangements that elevate the bedroom croon. There’s this cool heaviness throughout the record too, at least in mood, as each tune has a bit of a shadow hanging over it, challenging the pop constructs, and in that, the juxtaposition only adds to the charm. Every Problem Created for Us is out today via Royal Oakie Records.
