Annabelle Chairlegs Share Final Glimpse at Waking Up

Leave a comment

We’ve had our eyes on the new Annabelle Chairlegs for some time, continuously impressed with Lindsey Mackin’s growth as a songwriter. Our last look into the new Waking Up has her harnessing her garage rock sensibilities, but offering it up through a bit of a more blues-based lens. Mix that in with the midtrack breakdown where Mackin brings in a bit more of a pop vocal performance, hinting that the new record is bound to cover lots of musical territory, albeit with the bravado the band’s brandished through the years. Waking Up drops tomorrow via Todo!

Annabelle Chairlegs Drop Heavy Sleeper

Leave a comment

Over the past decade, Lindsey Mackin and Annabelle Chairlegs have been one of the better kept secrets from the confines of our fair city. It looks as though all the stars have aligned, finally, for the band to hit bigger stages, as Waking Up seems destined to break out into the masses. This tune encompasses everything that’s always impressed me about the songwriting from the group, pulling a soulful brand of pop then smashing it to pieces with psychedelic garage sounds; it’s a fusion between hooks and fuzz, leaving listeners with the ability to dance a little bop or bang their heads and scream along. Like I said, Waking Up is full of promise, and we’ll all know more when it drops on January 30th via TODO.

Last Week’s Jams (10.20 – 10.24)

Leave a comment

Not sure what it was, but for some reason, just didn’t get a ton of new stuff out into the world last week, though I’ll admit, sometimes life takes precedence. We were fortunate enough to grab some new tracks from our favorite Austin acts like Annabelle Chairlegs and Daphne Tunes, not to mention a little show coverage for Nations of Language/Deeper over at Mohawk too. There was some new stuff I thought was really special from No Lonesome and Hush, and then Optic Sink dropped a slow burner that I’ve had on repeat for a few days now. Feel like last week was very much a quality over quantity, but you be the judge.

New Annabelle Chairlegs Jam

Leave a comment

Long have we all been fans of Annabelle Chairlegs, and this week Lindsey Mackin and company announced their brand new record for upstart label Todo! The song is a poppy bit of garage rock, with the help of Ty Segall to make sure the balance in the mix is perfect. When you watch the video, the snappiness and joy of the song is clearly apparent in the video; it looks like Lindsey had an absolute blast making it, matching up with the sonic energy coming through your speakers. We promise you’ll not find a more fun jam to crank up today, and be on the lookout for Waking Up in January of next year.

ATX Spotlight: TVs Daniel + Annabelle Chairlegs

Leave a comment

It’s the time of year when releases come hard and fast, everyone trying to cram music in between their Fall tours and what not; I mean, we have 3 releases on our label in the next two + months, so you know the rest of Austin is busy. Two things I missed while on a brief beach vacay were these new jams from TVs Daniel and Annabelle Chairlegs.

TVs Daniel is the most recent project from all around rock n’ roller Daniel Fried; he’s also the key element in acts like Video and Bad Sports (amongst others). I love this track for its huge buzzsaw guitars disguised beneath a penchant for anthemic arena rock; the subtle backing vocals are a really nice touch. This track appears on a 7″ for Italian label, Wild Honey Records. It pretty much rules.

Annabelle Chairlegs are everyone’s Austin favorites; they’re the band that all the bands love…they even appeared on the Slack Capital Compilation we put together with Eric of Big Bill and First Human Records. This new single has this swagger lurking in the midst of psychedelic waves; I love the tenacity of the vocal performance. This tune should pop up on a sophomore LP any day now.

Here are my picks for the next three nights for a killer time out for the holiday weekend.

ACL Weekend Two Wrap-Up

Leave a comment

No Spoilers.

Admittedly, all the huge buzz leaks out as all the kids party on Weekend One, so attending Weekend Two for the first time, I was curious as to whether or not it could keep the same vibe from its predecessor. Surprisingly, the fest didn’t seem to miss a beat.

We have photos from around the grounds, randoms and portraits, friends and colleagues, bootlickers and signs. We also have plenty of notes rehashing last week’s favorites and highlighting the changes, so read on for highlights.

The Top ACL Undercard Acts

Leave a comment

Unfortunately, a festival has to curate line-ups that cater to that audience, and as such, some bands unfortunately fall victim to the undercard slot…the slot before the day really gets going or on the smaller stages. Whether you see it as a slight, or just one of the many headaches with scheduling a mass festival…here are my highlights for bands on the Undercard slot (pre-2 PM).

Recent things that we loved that fit this description: Lucy Dacus, Slaves, Jose Gonzalez, Albert Hammond Jr., Rey Pila, The Rosebuds, Wild Nothing, FIDLAR, Widowspeak, Pinback, Willis Earl Beal, Gardens & Villa, and on and on…
