Last Week’s Jams (3.3 – 3.7)

Sure, we’ve had our eyes on SXSW as of late, but there were so many great songs coming out, we had to hustle to be sure we got to as many as possible. We covered new stuff from the Gotobeds and Reds, Pinks and Purples, plus we got to highlight longtime favorites like The High Water Marks and Exploding Flowers, just to name a few. We had some quick SXSW interviews with Cloth, Snacktime, Last Waltzon, Two Man Giant Squid and Saint Blonde, so all get a little feature loved today, along with the rest of the weekly bangers. Dive on into the collection below.

Weatherday Shares Ripped Apart by Hands

Despite the song title offering up a grotesque image, the new Weatherday track offers a more intimate glimpse at the songwriting from the Swedish project. For the most part, the song is dominated by a heavy strum, which feels like it’s done so passionately that you can imagine blood dripping down the body of the guitar; there’s something to it that reminds me of the early Bright Eyes stuff where everything felt primal, as if there was no other option but to let it out into the world. Subtly, a sly little bit of electronics bubble, building towards the chorus, offering this softened charm that seduces the listener. This wonderful new tune appears on Hornet Disaster, dropping on March 19th via Top Shelf.
