Last Week’s Jams (12.2 – 12.6)

In a world where folks are rushing to put out their year end lists, so you can debate their tastes, I’m just over here putting out songs with my bud RayRay. We covered a surprising 21 new songs last week, and 22 if you included a tune that’s not on any of the DSPs. Tons of rad Austin stuff like Strange Lot, Gus Baldwin, Lunar Gold…and of course the ATH Records’ own Fantastic Purple Spots. New music from FACS and Sprouts made my week complete, though I also found some soft spots in there you can dig through on the site. Don’t forget to also check out our Rock n’ Recipes with Sasha Bell of the Ladybug Transistor, just in time for their little tour and reissue! We also got to premiere a brand new Gaytheist tune worth your time!

Listen to Zack Keim’s New Single

Outside my window at the moment, the weather is slightly cold and misting, which begs a nice ballad, perfectly fit for the voice of Zack Keim. When this single first came through, I thought to myself how it felt like an old version of M. Ward; he had that same tonal quality while still feeling familiar and friendly. The musical production has this understated elegance too, bordering between confessional indie rock and buoyant crossover pop. It’s a moving tune, and one that should put Keim on your radar as he prepares for the release of his Battery Lane LP, out in February via Super Sport Records.
