You missed our weekly roundup, didn’t you? Well, Last Week’s Jams returns, circling back on an organized playlist to remind you of all the fun we had rocking out the previous week. Touched on some Austin stuff with Gus Baldwin and Matador Sphere, making sure we rep the home base as often as possible. The big battle of the musical week came from The Laughing Chimes and Sharp Pins, both going head to head for some incredible indie vibes that will dominate the landscape this year…or so I hope. Didn’t hurt that we also got to hear more from Prism Shores and Pink Chameleons as they prep their new releases. Dig in below and don’t be afraid to tell me what you loved.

Why not start off the day with a well executed bit of pop rock, like this jam from zzzahara. The new single has all the trademarks of current indie, dropping in a mixture of dreamy layers with bursts of feedback echoes, all of it setting up the huge hook that greets you when the chorus drops. In a sense, it reminds me of a cleaner Cherry Glazer, filled with this insatiable fire that breeds pop sensibilities, though here, they’re tightly contained by zzzahara’s smoothed out vocal delivery; this keeps the track’s tightness, so the tune never moves too far away from that little earworm. This tune appears on Spiral Your Way Out, which drops this Friday via Lex Records; it’s followed by a big old tour throughout the Spring across North America!
