Last Week’s Jams (7.24 – 7.28)

We may have gone a bit overboard last week, as I see that we covered over 25 different tunes last week. But, that being said, we also ran some gosh-darned freaking hits. I loved that new jam from Split System, and have played it well over 50 times at this point. That, and that new track from Prewn pretty much made my week. I mean, there’s new stuff from Woods, Night Drive and all sorts bonus EP coverage for Death Bells and Bedroom Eyes. Plenty of stuff to dig into, so why not get on it, eh?

Strawberry Runners Share Breakup 2

Way back in 2018, we got a chance to chat with Emi Night as she geared up for her trip to Austin for SXSW on the backs of the In the Garden, In the Night EP. Now, with another release under their belt, Emi is prepping for the release of Strawberry Runners LP. Obviously, the storytelling here matches the song’s performance, offering intimate details of a failing relationship; the verses fit that lonesome contemplation, quietly coming to terms with the memories. However, the chorus sees Night really bring their brilliant voice to the focus, bursting forth with these huge notes that would rival any pop singer out there. Strawberry Runners release their self-titled LP on August 25th via Duper Moon Records.

Enjoy This Strawberry Runners Tune

The winds of fall have blown into Austin today, and what a perfect setting for this joyous Strawberry Runners track. Singer Emi Night has this inescapable voice, and while the volume itself is quiet, it’s still quite striking. Musically, this number is fairly stripped down, using light percussion and samples to create space for her voice and intricate little guitar lines; there’s a brief musical eruption near the 2 minute mark, adding a further fine touch. You’ll definitely find similarities to a young Jenny Lewis, particularly in the vocals. In the Garden, In the Night will be released on October 20th via Salinas Records.
