Last Week’s Jams (9.18 – 9.22)

Last week was kind of light on the tunes, at least from my end of things. That being said, it was a pretty heavy week in terms of tunes that made me swoon. We got to premiere new stuff from Citric Dummies and Red Pants, which rule, equally. Of course, it was nice to see our pals in Voxtrot take back up their crown as master of pop; Bubblegum Lemonade was another friend making a return with new music too! All that, and I haven’t even touched on the Lower Plenty track that nearly broke me listening to it. The Serfs and Dancer both had great new music out there; those hit from Alien Nosejob and the Exbats on Goner Records didn’t hurt either. Maybe light on coverage in lieu of our recent weeks, but so much great stuff to dig into here.

Swimming Bell Share New Single

After hitting you with a little bit of abrasive melody, felt like we could dip our toes in a bit of a cooler pond, this time with the latest track from Swimming Bell. When I ran through the first time, I was totally drawn to that guitar sliding through in the distance, working to add a textural layer that allows Katie Schottland’s vocals a place to play around. There’s this tribal beat beneath, almost acting as a heartbeat, all of this working to stretch the tune into this striking ray of light that shines upon you as you press play. Plus, there’s bonus points for Cody from Shannon/Clams who directed/created the video, adding a lightness that matches the tune’s joy. The band will release Charlie early next year via Permanent Records.
