Last Week’s Jams (5.8 – 5.12)

Last week kicked off with a bang; we covered a whole bunch of tunes right off the bat, only to kind of fade towards the end of the week. Still, we managed to get up 20 tunes you should listen to, though the Mope City single isn’t out there yet on streaming services. Some Austin love came our way with Tearjerk and Balmorhea getting solid mentions, while we couldn’t help but to continue our fawning over Night Beats and their latest barrage of bangers. Threw in some new Shelflife releases from Lost Tapes and Youth Valley, and in the end, the new stuff from Shrapnel and Special Friend definitely won awards for my faves of the week. You’ve got an hour of legendary streams below!

Sunsee Share Fresh Single: It’s Gone Wrong

My musical ADHD has me all over the place today, but definitely happy to settle into this new tune from New Zealand’s Sunsee. There’s little elements of guitar pop flare running through the entirety of the tune, but I really loved the mellowness of the pace. There’s something calming in the soft percussive elements and cooled vocals that allows the listener to kind of sit back, basking in the glow of the track’s melody. And, when you hit those final moments of the tune, the volume explodes in your ear, sort of an awakening that sets you ready for the rest of your day. Get into it.

Sunsee Shares Fly By Single

Another song that I came across just as the year was wrapping up was this fresh single from New Zealand’s Sunsee; it’s the project of Hamish Berkers, favoring no genre, but crafting these dreamy soundscapes for escapism. Personally, I love the contrast between some of the sunnier guitar licks and the weighted tones of Berkers here, offering up this brilliant juxtaposition. Plus, there’s this far out middle meandering piece that just kind of lets the song spin off into a new world and stop abruptly. Give it a quick spin and reap your rewards.
