New Music from The Wytches

Leave a comment

thewytchesFeel like I’ve moved away from psych music for a little bit, but this hazy little number by The Wytches has me circling back, carefully, as that genre’s a huge trap. I’m really attracted to the vocals in the first half of this tune; they have this soulful feel to them that reminds me of young J. Spaceman before it turns into a painful growl in your headphones. Having wrapped up their new album, All Your Happy Life, they’ve settled upon a release date of September 30th with Heavenly Records. Looking forward to seeing what unfolds within its confines.

Local Love: New Track From The Well

Leave a comment

13528760_1058444517544766_6923773044657595274_nIf you haven’t already acquainted yourself with the music of Austin’s very own, The Well, you should probably fix that…now. The Well are a three piece psych rock band that hinges on the metal side of the spectrum. They’re on their way to releasing a new album, which is called Pagan Science, and is about to make big waves for the band. Before that album comes out, you can listen to the first of their new tracks below, called “Black Eyed Gods,” which is a furious explosion of heavy guitar riffs and gang vocals that’ll have you screaming along. Get ready for their new album, which will be out October 14th, and be sure to go pre-order it here, via Riding Easy Records.

Jamming to New Low Culture

Leave a comment

lowcultureBeing a huge fan of the stuff Dirtnap Records has put out over the last, well, forever, it should be no surprise that I’m in love with this Low Culture tune. I’ve covered the band many times before, so I was excited to hear that the band were announcing Places to Hide, their newest LP. The sound’s immediately recognizable, furious buzzsaw guitars, power chord hooks and a quick pace that blasts you through the track right away. Turn up this tune, rock out in your office chair, then look to get your hands not he new LP when it’s released on September 9th.

Show Preview: Quin Galavis @ Museum of Human Achievement (8.13)

Leave a comment

quin-galavisMy Life of Steel and Concrete is set to be released by Super Secret Records, so the only way to guarantee you get your hands on it early is to head out to The Museum of Human Achievement on Saturday night. Let me tell you, not only will you get to participate in being part of the unique atmosphere of MoHA, you’ll also get what we can expect is an incredibly unique performance from Quin Galavis. Lately, he’s played some shows with his band, while other times he’s played whilst having actors play the role of those in his songs. It should also be noted that this is possibly the most unique/diverse listen you’ll hear in Austin this year, or even if you’re outside of Austin. There’s heavier edged stuff, there’s beautiful atmospheric pieces and there’s the shanty-like tune featured below (just to leave a few genre marks). This is going to be something really special, so be sure to make your way out on Saturday night.

Premiere: Bubbles Brown Bring Blues Booking on “Sundance”

Leave a comment

bubblebrownGive this track a few moments and you’ll probably find yourself lost in the past, stomping your feet to the history of Bubbles Brown‘s soulful boogie. The band broke their teeth working the streets of Chicago for spare change, and it seems that in doing so, they’ve come out brandishing their own unique blend of blues, jazz and the soul of Texas. They recently released their debut Mt. Gilead, andthese B-sidescontinue to prove that some bands have no peers. Seems so simple, yet taking a few listens will reveal just how complex the sounds of the duo have gotten over time. Hope you’ll spend some time here and then go back to listen to the whole of their album.

Big Wave Riders Announce New Album

Leave a comment

Big_Wave_Riders_-_Crest_Of_A_Wave-cover_smallThere’s something hopeful on the horizon, something where anything and everything is waiting for you…at least that’s what Big Wave Riders are promising with their brand new song, “Crest of a Wave.” It’s a positive message that accompanies the band’s announcement of their next LP, Endless Summer. The sound of the guitars also provide you with that sensation of optimism; it’s indie rock of the guitar pop sort, but you’ll find it ratherjoyous. There’s even a happy little yelp just after 2 minute mark displaying how much fun the band are having. Look to get your hands on their new LP on August 26th via Soliti Music.

Please Watch this Ari Roar Video

Leave a comment

It’s rare that in less than two minutes a song can completely win me over, but that’s precisely what happened when I watched this Ari Roar video the first time; honestly, I was hooked in just under a minute. There’s such an innocence to the tune, which is further encouraged by the accompanying video. Sure, I’d love some longer tracks, but we’ll all have to wait until he releases his Patch Me Up EP via Golden Brown on September 23rd. Until then, just enjoy yourself this little video and song.

Blast New Music from Girls Tears

Leave a comment

girlsStarted off softly today, but I’m ready to pick up the energy as I head towards the weekend, and what better way than this new jam from Girls Tears. It’s a full-fledged guitar attack on your ears, with drums bashing in the background. I love the way the vocals were recorded, almost as if the band is containing a sense of madness that’s spinning out of control. But, if you know me, you know I like the underlying sense of pop sensibility, and that’s definitely at play here too! Look for the band’s Woke Against the Tide to hit stores on October 28th via Sinderlyn.

Leave a comment

flavorsavorI get it. Being a musician is hard, owning a venue is hard. But that’s anywhere in the world, even in Austin. But, while we have struggles here in town, we also have an e abundance of incredible acts popping up left and right. Flavorsound has organized a Class of 2016 Tape Compilation of the new bands that burst forth this year…including some of the acts on ATH Records like Plantation Band and Mean Jolene. It’s surely not an end all – be all list, but there’s great finds on the tape. So to celebrate, they’re throwing a release show at Barracuda tomorrow night featuring many of the acts…Planet Manhood, Lola Tried, Oozer, Mean Jolene, Vampyre and Sherman’s March. Stop by and check out some of the new sounds coming out of Austin. And if you live abroad, check out the Tape HERE or stream below.

Premiere: My Son Bison Release “XV”

Leave a comment

bisonI’m a sucker for well orchestrated indie rock, particularly the sort that uses a piano line for the backbone. This new tune from My Son Bison fits perfectly into that mold, and I adore the way they’ve managed to flesh out the song; they add touches of trumpet, classical guitar and just the right touch on the cymbals. It makes the song rise, even when the vocals seem to hold the track steady. Speaking of the vocals…such a wonderful voice here, soaring with such warm tones. Look to find more beauty within the confines of their debut, Two Faces and a Vase, released this month…with a run of East Coast dates to celebrate.
