Last Week’s Jams (3.31 – 4.4)

While we covered a lot of territory, I’ll admit that there’s definitely a shadow hanging over last week’s jams, namely the much-hyped return of Allo’ Darlin. I also had to go back and make sure I added in that Day Friend to the list, as that’s one of my favorite ATX acts. Plus, the return of ATH faves the High Water Marks makes another weekly highlight, and now that I’m thinking about it…there’s just a ton of rad stuff here. We got other Austin stuff represented with a new single from Thor & Friends, not to mention this really great introduction to the Pennys (which has some ATX connections). Also, some photos of Hey Nothing ran with a show review, so we threw up their latest single too! Stream it all below!

Strange Pilgrim Release Embers

Nearly a full three years ago, Strange Pilgrim dropped their debut self-titled LP, but, like all things, a little bit of time gives you perspective, so they went back and revisited some of these tunes, releasing them on a new EP titled Embers. I’ve really taken to the number below, which was the opening tune on their debut; they go full on into the foggy pop that reminded me of the Clientele. A carefully buzzing keyboard and some beach-like instrumentation only makes the song a bit deeper, leaving a lot of space for those vocals to really sink into your skin. And man, the line of “I should have said I loved/more than I did” just crushes me every time. Embers is available now via Royal Oakie.
