Jam of the Day | Field Music - All You'd Ever Need to Say

Tweet

Following a self-imposed three year hiatus, Sunderland England's Field Music returned in a major way earlier this year with a gluttonous new 20 track double album. And as things do when on hiatus, their sound apparently gained a few pounds while brothers and co-frontmen Peter and David Brewis took their rest.

Our Jam of the Day, "All You'd Ever Need to Say," sounds girthy and happy - layering textures, guitars, and vocals together to create some modern day progressive-rock that hearkens to finer Pinback and less-poppy Apples in Stereo.

Drop the e-needle below and make sure to grab their new record, Field Music (Measure), which was released by Memphis Industries/Revolver a few months back.

Pajammy Jam of the Day | Union Tree Review - Let Me Be

Tweet

Union Tree Review is Saint Louis' answer to genius indie folk.

Today's Pajammy Jam of the Day, "Let Me Be," instills a sense of longing in me that can't be undone. It's an chugging, acoustic train, reminiscent of Ryan Adams: brilliant lyricism, piano in all the right places, plenty o' references to booze and regret. The track is thoughtfully and intricately arranged, with a heap of employed instruments whose measured restraint never reaches the point of cacophony. In two words: it's good.

"Let Me Be" intrinsically feels like home, with all of its familiar comforts and inevitable pain. I am proud to say Union Tree Review is from my home.

The band hits The Billiken Club this Saturday with Old Lights and Field Music. It's a FREE show, so you have no reason not to show up. Right?
