Last Week’s Jams (8.19 – 8.23)

Well folks, I’m back in the game full time, teaching, coaching and all that jazz. So, I didn’t hit my previous mark of nearly 30 songs in a week. But, we still had some really great stuff on the site, so it’s organized below in its usual playlist fashion. One of the best group’s in the game, Feeling Figures, bounced out with a rad new single, plus our old pal Caroline Says also announced her first LP in some years. We gave a shout out to some great records by Fake Fruit, Chime School, Hits and more (and yes, I missed Wut and the Softies). Oh, and new jams from UV-TV and High Water Marks closed out the week, so I guess you could say, it was a pretty good time!

Sybris Share Dead, Ready Gold On Hold

Originally recorded in 2011, during the band’s heyday, Chicago’s Sybris are finally prepared to share Gold on Hold, the long awaited 3rd album. And, while the skeptic in you is surely wondering why now, the simplest answer is best: it’s just a good fucking record. My ears hear remnants of acts like Life Without Buildings or Pretty Girls Make Graves, while also harkening towards more recent trends that blend the harder edges of psychedelia and punk with a wink and a nudge. Just listen to Angela Mullenhour’s delivery, shimmying and shaking between the rhythm section, sort of sliding in and out with this prowess that lets you know both the song and the audience are eating out of the palm of her hands. Pop and spice and everything nice that’ll guarantee Gold On Hold is as awesome as I’ve promised. They release the record on September 6th via Absolutely Kosher.
