Last Week’s Jams (5.22 – 5.26)

It was the last week of my school year, so I perhaps didn’t run as many tracks up the old flagpole as I otherwise might have liked, but we’ve still got a solid hour worth of hits below for those looking to peruse the jams. A new Life Strike tune kicks it off, dropping in some power-pop to your ears. We had some new stuff from both Sea Lemon and the Mary Onettes, all of which got me excited for the rest of the year to come. That new XDS is just out there enough for the weirdoes to come on home to roost with us. Happy Tuesday ya’ll!

Twine Share My God Single

Please do not let those gentle string pieces opening this Twine track fool you; there’s a danger lurking, hanging just on the edge of those discordant guitar licks in the background. Listening to this Aussie outfit reminds me of this sort of sweet spot between Frightened Rabbit and Cursive; it has this quality that borders on both strikingly beautiful and explosive at the same time. But, just as easily as they can explode through your speakers, they can pull it all back and keep the vibe succinct so you’re constantly being pulled bag and forth, like a tug-o-war between light and dark. You know, just another exciting outfit from Australia, courtesy of Kitty Records.
