Last Week’s Jams (7.14 – 7.18)

Felt like a pretty busy week all in all; there were lots of big album news leaking out, and we tried to cover the ones we love, like new Living Hour and Telephone Numbers…and I had to squeeze in that new Blood Orange. Tons of new stuff has been coming out of Austin too, like new stuff from Dress Warm, Living Pins, Chronophage and Ingebrigt Haker Flatten (do we still get to claim San Gabriel?). Winter and TAGABOW continued with their run of solid singles, as did Wombo, so there’s a whole lot of stuff for you to sound your way through below. Bummed that new Bats tune I posted isn’t up on the DSPs.

New TAGABOW Album On Its Way

If you have yet to be caught up in the hype surrounding They Are Gutting a Body of Water, you’ll be pleased to know that this is one of the rarer instances where the hype is fitting. They greet you with a trickle of guitar, then they break the door down with a wall of feedback and distortion, quietly sneaking vocals in behind the barrage of melodic noise. Once the tune opens, the guitars dance carefully, almost as if they’re careful of stepping on the vocal portion of the tune; the group gets to hang hear before riding another crest of noise to the close. Their new LP, Lotto, will be out on October 17th.

Last Week’s Jams (5.19 – 5.23)

I felt like I didn’t manage to crush it as much as I prefer, but in that, we still managed to get at least 20 rad tunes for you to digest, all of which you can hear in the spot below. RayRay got up the latest from Hotline TNT, and we hung with the masses in there, dropping jams from Winter, TAGABOW and the likes…but don’t you worry, we still dug into a little bit of the obscure. I was super stoked to hear that Wombo has a new LP for Fire Talk, and even more so to dig into a little more of the dub vibes from Pachyman. Plus, we premiered the “Clown Car” video from Lung, which you can read about HERE. If that’s not your jam, I’m sure you’ll find plenty to adore below.

They Are Gutting a Body of Water Share American Food

As a comfort eater myself, the thematic element in the new track from They Are Gutting a Body of Water is something I can relate to, as we all seek comfort and vice in our own ways. But, I also turn to music, which is where the band continue to branch into territories that push expectations and classification beyond their peers. Their guitar lines this go round are pretty simple, kind of bringing the rhythm out as this twanging piece that gets to hang in the air with all the other indie rock acts. But, behind there’s another faint guitar line, not to mention loads of sampled and digitalization in the studio that shows them fucking around completely with our modern formula. It’s brilliant to see them employing everything and not sounding at all like they’re just phoning it in! This track also comes with the announcement of their signing to ATO Records/Smoking Room/Julia’s War.
