Last Week’s Jams (10.7 – 10.11)

We crushed the coverage last week; we had some ACL coverage as well as some Sigur Ros notes from their Austin show. But, we also covered a solid 28 tracks, 26 of which made the cut on our Last Week’s Jams (the new Boyracer and Rocky Lorelei can only be found on the site). A new track from the Serfs is still living rent-free in my brain, while I discovered just how much I’m enjoying Kim Deal‘s new solo stuff. That doesn’t even scratch the surface, as there were several Texas’ acts like Pets and Trauma Ray getting some new jams out. I will admit, perhaps I overdid it, but eh, you love the new stuff right? Cool. Stream it then.

Tunng Announce Love You All Over Again

When I look over my various musical tastes, I generally don’t consider folktronica to be something that really brings me in…that is unless we’re talking about Tuung. To me, the UK outfit, sounds like a version of Architecture in Helsinki that you might listen to at a Renaissance Faire. They love overlapping melodies, combining and pulling apart from one another to build a bit of contrast, using the electronic elements to texturize the track and even add just a little playfulness to the entirety. Honestly, if I were to film a tale of fairies in a futuristic setting, I sure as hell hope this lot would do the score; it’s whimsical and sophisticated, and I’m penciling in Love You All Over Again for a release to keep an eye on when it drops in January of next year!
