Last Week’s Jams (1.30 – 2.3)

This whole 2023 thing has been quite a shit show from those at the ATH offices: forced server changes, loss of electricity, loss of Internet (still!), and we’re old! But, we keep pushing on, as there’s still plenty of great tunes for you to cover and enjoy. It was good to hear that our old pal Jana Horn has a new LP on the way; she’s been one of my favorite voices forever. I think my favorite jam of the week came from the latest single from Roller Derby…with a video that has lots of nods to Austin and their journey to SXSW last year. Plus, Elephant 6 added the Rishis to their roster, so be sure to give a listen. Label of the week clearly goes to Slumberland with more Frankie Rose and new Reds, Pinks and Purples. I aim to hopefully have more tunes up this week! But enjoy a quick journey through what we loved last week!

The Psychotic Monks Share Gamble and Dangle

Honestly, I don’t know too much about The Psychotic Monks, but when listening through to their new single “Gamble and Dangle,” I thought it was just enough outside of what I’ve been posting today, so felt fitting to kind of end there. In it’s crawling pace, the song maneuvers over a thumping, rolling drum, almost meditating on this sort of anti-pop style. At times, the vocals and the guitars flirt with noisy experimentation, ultimately weaving this tapestry of darkened post-pop that evades the trappings of modern indie rock. This tune appears on their new LP, Pink Colour Surgery, so I look forward to diving further into what the French outfit are constructing.
