Last Week’s Jams (7.17 – 7.21)

We’re still in the middle of a great year of music, and as we hit that sweet spot, there seem to be more tracks coming out every day; we try to cover as much as we can, but admittedly, we’re not perfect! It was really nice to see Emma Anderson of Lush pop her head up with a brand new track from her forthcoming solo LP. Personally, I loved that new Pachyman jam, as that guy rules and I’m totally hoping everyone catches on to his vibe. A little Austin love for Holy Wave who continue to impress with the sounds of their new LP. Then there’s old ATH faves like Pia Fraus and Tan Cologne, plus the Who Is She supergroup making the cut too. Browse, stream, enjoy.

Semiwestern Share Pose Single

I meant to get this new Semiwestern track up last week; it was released on Friday, brandishing a very particular brand of Texas slowcore. When I listened, I was struck by how lonesome the song felt; it feels like you’ve been sort of isolated or suspended in space, yet your not quite complaining. As I spent more time, the details surrounding the core give the song this cavernous feel behind, still making you feel small, albeit part of something larger. That’s the thing that keeps me coming back here, its like you get to soak in your solitude, take a bit of respite from all that’s around you. Feel free to get lost inside this one, coming to you courtesy of Spirit Goth.

Meet the SXSW Band: Semiwestern

The end of this week will see the official kickoff of SXSW, which brings tons of bands and tech companies and movies to our town, so we’ve been trying to highlight some of the acts on the music side. This round, we get to lock into a Texas artist, Semiwestern, coming at us from about 3.5 hours North. There’s a full-length from the artist slated for later this year, and perhaps you’ll get a chance to taste some of his Italian cookies!
