Album Reviews
Check back! I’m planning on doing more reviews in 2025 featuring both new material, including EPS and singles, and overlooked oldies still worth spinning on the SP-1200S or bluetooth speaker.
London-based psych project Mcbaise and techno-mariachi label-mate 1000 GUAPO riff on bromance with a new single on Valentine’s Day. But what does “TTM” even stand for? You might not find out by reading this story, but, please, still click.
Minneapolis-based Mae Simpson released “Cap Guns,” the first song off their upcoming album. Guitarist Jorgen Wadkins chatted with Jam in the Stream about the single, and the band’s upcoming album, which was produced by saxophonist Brian “Snowman” Powers.
Check out Jam in the Stream’s first album review. It’s London-based Mcbaise’s debut 2014 album Seabass, which is somewhat of a postcard to the South of France, where the musician/illustrator grew up. Periodically, Jam in the Stream will review albums new and old from a variety of genres, from fusion jazz to psychedelic rock. Mcbaise, while known by some, comes up with some of the coolest songs too many people have never heard. Also, look out for an interview with Mcbaise later this month.
Duluth’s SaltyDog released Pepper on June 3. Jam in the Stream reviews the band’s second LP, which features solid song writing, lyrically, as the band has grown to include a pair of guitarists, a hand percussionist and a keyboardist, the latest addition to the band, Jam in the Stream’s verdict: Go buy this album, which includes songs such as “Barfly,” “Yeehaw,” and “Farmer Norm,” among others.
