ATX Spotlight: That Julia Lucille Video I Need to Post

Feel like I could definitely (and will) do more on International Women’s Day, so what better way than to celebrate one of our favorite Austin artists, Julia Lucille. Recently she released this video for “Darkening,” one of the many beautiful tracks on her forthcoming Chthonic LP…and, well, I think you should watch it. The way the video was shot (by Jordan Moser) perfectly matches the song’s mood; it’s also a pretty sparse song, lyrically, illustrating just how much power Julia can carry with the simplest approaches. Oh, and she’ll be playing at our ATH vs SOTO Showdown this Sunday over at Hotel Vegas. Her album will be released by our friends at Keeled Scales on April 7th.

Another New Album from No Museums

nomuseumsNo Museums promised us they’d be working on a record or two a year, and they’ve just released the early part of of their 2016 work with Darkening. I’ve spent the past few days digging in before sharing with you, and while I definitely enjoy, it’s hard to pin down an exact track that’s a “single,” though many folks are picking up on “Stationing Out,” which I’ve shared below. It feels like a complete listen to me; it’s one that harkens back to some of the sonic elements of both dream pop and shoegaze, whilst still grounded in an absolute quietness. It’s currently available for NYP, but we always suggest donating to the work of artists. Grab it HERE.
