Last Week’s Jams (8.26 – 8.31)

Leave a comment

Stella is getting her groove back, or at least I am. Managed to get my feet underneath me a little bit this past week, so we’ve got a pretty decent amount of tracks to represent. Threw out a couple of premieres for the homies at Feel It Records, with new No Peeling and Fan Club dropping this week. Turned around and dropped some Austin love for Skloss and Whisper too, which is always a goal. Really enjoyed my own introduction to the tragic story of Stroik, with a powerful tune you should put on your radar. Nice to see some favorites on the dial too like Sharp Pins and Frog. But man, this Happy Dust Gang tune in here is just my jam!

Whisper Release Turn Around

There is always something brewing within the confines of our fair city, and Whisper is one of the newer acts popping up on my radar. They’re crafting songs in the style that is blending both dream pop and shoegaze, taking the noisier elements and blanketing them in a layer of quiet that allows the melodic structures to crest and fall. This single teases with tension, letting the breathy vocals open into a collision of churning crystalline guitar notes as the drums punctuate the noise. They don’t full dive into the noisy pull though, just maybe dangling a toe in the waters of distortion, so you can still hear the beauty in what they’re doing.

Carry Ripple Shares Whisper Single

Leave a comment

When genres begin to grow stale, we’ve got to rely upon artists like Carry Ripple to mix it up, which is the case with the Memphis’ artist’s latest single. It begins with sort of a looped experimentation, layering sound atop sound to build this budding musical soundscape from which to play. As the tune unfurls, the layers remain, with various vocalists mingling to present what one might call folk, though the way the project has manipulated the structures its hardly recognizable. It’s a warped way to get your day started, which seems perfectly apt for the warped world in which we find ourselves; look for a Carry Ripple 2 later this year!

Last Week’s Jams (5.27 – 5.31)

In one of those weeks that magically felt longer than it was, we managed to cover a fair amount of ground, cranking out coverage of at least 20 new tunes for you. Add to that B. Gray’s excellent Kilby Block Party footage and the Levitation Announcement, and, well, we seem like we have our shit together! I loved that there was new stuff from Ryli and Autocamper, both giving me little doses of my pop fix. There was a lot of new stuff, too, that scratched a different itch, with Fortunato Durutti Marinetti announcing a new LP, coinciding with a fresh track from the new Tropical Fuck Storm LP. A bit all over the map, but in the best way. Let us know what you loved the most.

Whisper Share Cross Country

The Austin music scene has ebbs and flows, with the most recent band to explode being our pals in Blushing. But, Whisper is a relatively new act to keep your ears upon, offering up a more modern take on the genre. They’ve painted the backdrop of their music with heavy washes of distortion and ambiance, using a lighter lead guitar to jangle and twist in the front, as if it’s operating on its own accord. Colton Eason’s vocals embrace the mellower intersection of where emo-ish sounds have come in, bringing in a hint of a “whisper,” if you will. It’s a rad little number, and one we hope you’ll give a chance as we await fresh hits from the group.
