Last Week’s Jams (3.31 – 4.4)

While we covered a lot of territory, I’ll admit that there’s definitely a shadow hanging over last week’s jams, namely the much-hyped return of Allo’ Darlin. I also had to go back and make sure I added in that Day Friend to the list, as that’s one of my favorite ATX acts. Plus, the return of ATH faves the High Water Marks makes another weekly highlight, and now that I’m thinking about it…there’s just a ton of rad stuff here. We got other Austin stuff represented with a new single from Thor & Friends, not to mention this really great introduction to the Pennys (which has some ATX connections). Also, some photos of Hey Nothing ran with a show review, so we threw up their latest single too! Stream it all below!

King Khan Shares Bonus Track from Invaders Score

Having leant himself to the score for the Invaders, King Khan finally has his songwriting and stewardship on the horizon for a physical release, courtesy of Ernest Jennings Recording Co. Felt like today wouldn’t be right if we didn’t share this stunning bonus track from the “digital version,” featuring Miranda & the Beat on vocals. Much like the movie, this song feels like its rooted in the 60s, taking on these powerful smoky notes that don’t seem like they’ve been replicated every since then. Honestly, I think what makes this track, for me at least, is that fucking bravado from the string arrangement; it reminds me of how lush orchestration really is the “chef’s kiss” of classic soul. So, the double LP of the score will drop on August 18th, so if you’re kind of, sort of, into great sounds, grab it HERE.
