Last Week’s Jams (5.12 – 5.16)

If you just look at last week’s collection in our Album Streams post, you can see it was certainly a busy week out there; there were no fewer than six albums that I adored, whether it was new Gotobeds or High Water Marks or Artificial Go, there was plenty to browse through. But, that was just the albums, and didn’t even cover the great music that popped up on the single side of things. I mean, there was new Jeanines, Ryli, Lightheaded and Whitneys Playland...all of which should have you cranking up your speakers. Some good Austin (and adjacent love) for acts like Little Mazarn, San Gabriel, Gustave Ochoa and Adrian Quesada, so doing our part on the local scene. There’s just too much good stuff out there, thus, you’re required to press play and space out for an hour.

 

New Single from Seedbed

While I missed the early single from Seedbed, I’ve long been a JJ Posway supporter, as I’m sure he knows, so this new project is really exciting. There’s still remnants of his last project Scooterbabe hanging out, but perhaps that’s what I hear in the vocals, being familiar with Posway’s voice over the years. What I love is how he’s the master songwriter, but branching out to find friends that fill in the spots perfectly, like the female foil in this song, building in the perfect contrast. For some reason, and maybe it’s because I was talking about them earlier, this tune kind of has a faint American Football blend to it, if they were more romantic and willing to be expansive. Stalemate is going to be a lot of people’s favorite record, dropping June 27th via Tiny Engines.
