Last Week’s Jams (10.28 – 11.1)

Just when we thought the year was dragging to a close, we managed to find enough hits to fall in love with and make you a proper playlist! We even have a few of the tracks we covered from Maneater and Boyracer missing, so be sure to check those out. I loved the opening song from Prism Shores; it’s definitely a bright spot on last week, along with the reemergence of Mogwai on the scene. We managed to get in some Austin love for Whalers and Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, not to mentioned representing for the local festival with Levitation interviews from Hello Mary and the Strange Lot. Plus, our pal Michael Maly was able to swing some coverage for Air‘s 25th Anniversary performance of Moon Safari, giving me a chance to slide “Sexy Boy” into yet another playlist. Check it all out below.

Vessels Share Nowhere to Be

Woke up this morning feel a little bit of a growl, and this tune from Vessels caught my energy; it adheres to an old school style of garage rock, of the sort that’s driving a bit of hook-laden pop right into your memory. The snapping rhythm section offers up a bit of enhanced bravado, playing off the way the vocals get delivered throughout the tune. You’ll certainly hear the remnants of the 00s garage revival here, but, with hooks this fun, it’s hard not to just get carried away with the volume turned up full blast on this one. Debut EP coming out this December!

Check Out Vessels

1932274_10152637217368725_8071902935186133269_nI have been allowed to listen to this new record from Vessels. It is called Dilate and it is an early best-of 2015 for me. I have a feeling it will stick with me through the year. To help intro you, XLR8R has offered up “Echo In” for download. Comprised of five lads from Leeds, they layer in depth to what is happening and I want to see this live.

Seriously, this record is outstanding and I call this merely an intro track.
