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.

Dean and Britta and Sonic Boom

Really, if you’ve been on the indie side of the musical pond, just the names of Dean & Britta & Sonic Boom should mean something to you, and well, they’ll mean more now that three have joined forces to set up for a holiday album titled A Peace of Us. What better way to announce this blessed union than by sharing a classic from Willie Nelson, “Pretty Paper,” working with a stripped down affair that works around a well crafted electronic background, toying with the dueling vocals that buoy the pop sensation throughout. In a strange way, it also kind of sounds like a B-side from an early Magnetic Fields tune, and I’m here for it. Carpark Records will release the album on November 22nd.
