Check Out This New Grocer Tune
Ever have one of those tracks that just finds its way under your skin, no matter your expectations? Well, this new Grocer tune definitely found its way into my brain, and now I’m hoping it finds a landing place on your side of the speakers. There’s something powerful in the way the vocals are delivered, almost like a roller-coaster, rolling up then down then up then down. Expertly crafted, the song feels really open at the beginning, with lots of sonic space left behind the vocals, so they’re able to create that emotional pull. But, then you hit the latter half and they jump on the gas and let the song rip. Give it a whirl and enjoy. Grocer release Bless Me on April 19th via Grind Select.

I feel like I’ve only got a handful of bands on my radar in the Austin scene at the moment, and Variety is definitely high upon that list overall. On their latest single, they offer up hints of what could make them exciting as they continue to flesh out their sound. Their first two singles have been right up my alley, but I love how this track seems to almost work in contrast to those early tunes. There’s this harrowing feel, accented by gunshot snare work that almost seems industrial in nature. Guitars snake around, carefully bending behind the buried vocal work. I love how the song’s allowed to breathe within the vocals, building in this natural emotive quality you won’t be able to pull away from below.
I’ll pretty much write about anything that features Stella Donnelly on it, as seen in our sites adoration of her track with Methyl Ethel. Today, she’s popping up on a new single from 
A lot of really great stuff popped up last week, and we did our best to be on top of as much as we could, though admittedly, it’s a bit of a busy season on our parts (life wise). We were stoked to hear some stuff from Austin homies in the Juniper Berries and Strand of Oaks, both offering great new music you’ll love. Zero Point Energy dropped another tune from their exciting debut, as well as new music from Writhing Squares that sees them stretching our expectations of their sound. Plus, got to finally circle back on some things that had been waiting, like Crumbs, System Exclusive and Climax Landers. Oh, and we ran a Rock n Recipes with our friends in Outer World, so be sure to check it. A few acts like Goosewind and Jetstream Pony didn’t have their stuff up on streaming, so be sure to give it a listen if you’d like.
