Last Week’s Jams (11.6 – 11.10)

It may not have been a week covered in big names, but there were tons of ridiculously quality tunes dropped this last week. We had tons of ATX stuff, from Daily Worker to Wet Dip to S.L. Houser to Voxtrot, so we were all over that. I fell in love with Dumb Things, which is the Aussie outfit opening up this week’s playlist. But, it’s probably a toss up for me whether the new track from The Witching Waves got more plays than that new Weakened Friends. A ripper of a week with some new names we hadn’t come across before like Amelia Coburn, so give the whole mix a Monday morning spin.

SWIIMS Share In Puzzles Video, Drop New LP

Today, Canadian act SWIIMS drop their newest LP, Into the Blue Night, and thus, we’ve got to dive into the band’s fresh single encouraging you to get a little taste of what’s in store. I loved the way this one opened up with these atmospheric flourishes, sort of carefully treading on post-rock. But, then guitars cut through the speakers and the drums hit hard, giving way to a churning bit of indie pop. Mai Diaz Langou has the dreamy take down, though I’m mostly intrigued by the way she lets her voice clime notes and climb back down in the chorus moment; it creates this tension that allows the track’s emotional pull to really shoot off. If you dig it, be sure to check out the LP, courtesy of Mint 400 Records.
