Last Week’s Jams (8.5 – 8.9)

Another week, and another weird day where I posted more than one person should, but alas, there has been a lot of really great music of late. So, below you’ve got our weekly playlist, sort of summing up where we ended last week, before we head into this new one. We had a really great Rock n’ Recipe interview with former ATX band Blood, plus some more local love for Letting Up Despite Great Faults. Covered some great new music from Naked Roommate, Wut and Lunar Vacation, then ended the week with one of my favorite acts, Constant Follower. There’s tons of music in between too, and we’ll be back again with more following these messages.

Vilde Shares a Hideous Win Single

Very much in my feelings today, with lots of changes going both in regards to family, socially and employment, so reminding myself to take a breath and just soak in the world around me is best served when there’s an appropriate soundtrack, like the work of Vilde. The latest single from the next Vilde record explores the album’s theme: “a pre-written narrative inevitably drifts astray in an ever-changing world.” This is a perfect expression of my morning feels, soaking the ideas and thoughts that have, today, gone askew. All of it is dressed with an intimate guitar (another album focal point), while the vocals embrace a human fragility tying all the nuanced bits together.

Seductive Pop from Vilde

Remember in that one movie where he played the Beta Band, then everyone went and bought it? Well, I get that sentiment when I watch this video/new tune from Stockholm’s Vilde. There’s this quiet electronic groove that flows beneath the ground, allowing all this room for the angelic voice of Thomas Savage to weave further magic through your speakers. Just as I’m lost in the song, I turn to the video to find a collage of images fading in and out of one another and find myself completely lost in the beautiful madness of my own mind. This is his final piece in the Study Dance collection, and by far the most intoxicating…give it a go.
