Last Week’s Jams (7.21 – 7.25)

My summer vacation is about to wrap up, so I’ve been trying to cram as much rock n’ roll into the site as I can, and I feel like nearing 30 new songs is a pretty solid outing. There was new stuff from ever-present acts like Gregor, Cate Le Bon, Giant Day and more. Plus, there were some brand newish acts popping up on the scene that I think are certainly worth everyone’s time: The Cords and the Cindys, both UK outfits oddly enough. Some ATX love for Stella and the Very Messed and the Wild Kindness both dropping new tunes. Plus, there are several slow burns that will space out the listen, so you’ve got almost two hours of last week’s jams to enjoy!

Pleased to Meet You: The Cindys

Is it weird to declare yourself a super fan if the band in question only has one single to their name? Well, meet the Cindys. Songwriter Jack Ogborne has previously received praise for his project Bingo Fury, but this new (old) sound he’s circulating is perfect for folks of my ilk. I mean, the poetic nature and just the general song structure reeks of the Go-Betweens, though the guitar sound is a bit bolder, and even heavier in spots, as the group look back and step into the future. Naima Bock’s additional vocals on the second verse just cement the fact that this is going to be spinning in my head for the next however long I go. Courtesy of Breakfast Records.
