Last Week’s Jams (9.9 – 9.13)

Seemed like a strange week for some reason, but there were some definitely tunes that just broke my heart, in the best way possible. I continue to be impressed by Merce Lemon‘s new stuff, and “Crow” was just a beast. Porridge Radio, too, offered up a song that just wanted to shatter spirits, though if that’s the case, I won’t mind one bit. Alas, there was some pop in the week, like the new record from Young Scum and new single from Jim Nothing. Plus, old favorites the New Tigers are back, as is Germany’s Roller Derby. Indulge yourselves by pressing play below, but be sure to start with the powerhouse hit from The Wickies.

Wilder Thing Shares Too Much TV Single

The waters in Maine seem to be continuously flowing with artistic expression; I’ve stumbled upon a ton of acts from the state over the last few years that have just blown my mind, like Wilder Thing. This project feels like some sort of blasphemous concoction of indie rock influences that would appeal to fans of bands in the vein of Shellac. You’ll get seance style spoken-word met with firing guitar lines that shoot off into the horizon; there feels like there’s some possessive force (the TV?) controlling the narrator, adding this fascinating tension to the build and explosion. I Have My Mother’s Eyes and I’m Not Giving Them Back is out on October 18th via Repeating Cloud.
