ROB SEZ: Superchunk may be too busy running Merge Records,  or whatever. If Mac McCaughan and company can't do much to promote Wild Loneliness, the band's *stunning* long-player released a few months ago, then I'm gonna do my little bit to try to get the word out. Wild Loneliness is fabulous, even in comparison to their extensive catalogue of fabulousness. I strongly encourage you to give it a listen. (Is Jon Wurster the best indie music drummer of his era? Discuss.) Meanwhile, I'm indebted to neil d and KEXP for sharing the music.

ROB SEZ: This was supposed to be a different post, about an up-and-coming group that just released a new album — accompanied by LOTS of indie hype. I really wanted to buy into the hoopla. I bought the new album, listened attentively several times, and ... was singularly unimpressed. By contrast, Australian artist Julia Jacklin has been in heavy rotation at my house for many weeks now. Jacklin's music has everything I found lacking in the unnamed group's recent long player: an identifiable personality, impressive musical chops, loads of charm, and plenty of food for thought in the lyrics. Her 2019 album Crushing (AllMusic rating: 4.5 stars out of 5) and 2022's PRE PLEASURE (AllMusic rating: 4 stars out of 5) have rewarded me richly during their frequent spins. This post offers a hometown show that coincided with the release of Jacklin's second album as well as a 2019 live set for KEXP radio, augmented by other live (mostly acoustic) recordings from 2017 and 2019. Special thanks to Triple J Radio, KEXP, and the others for sharing. Please enjoy.

07 Autumn Leaves

ROB SEZ: Seattle's Green Pajamas have been an overly well-kept secret of indie rock & neo-psychedelica fans since the band got started way back in the 1980s. Jeff Kelly and musical partner Joe Ross have led the combo through dozens of band efforts, solo albums, compilations, and side projects. After all these decades, they're still going strong. All the releases I've heard (about 15 albums & comps) are well worth a listen, and some are bona fide masterpieces. Learn more at AllMusic and Bandcamp (and — because they're so prolific — this additional Bandcamp site).
