Last Week’s Jams, Today (August 2 – 6)

Leave a comment

Here we are amigos, welcoming you back to what is shaping up to be a really fun week. RayRay and I have to go back to our real jobs, officially, so there’s that. But, we wanted to reflect on last week, bringing you the hits of last week, only bringing them to you today. Most of the stuff we covered, or have covered, since we’re not apt to get to tons of reviews for individual albums, so I threw in a jam. Definitely got some good Austin coverage with new Half Dream, as well as a part Austin participation with Daphne Tunes on that new Central Heat Exchange track. You know, its not tough. Just press play, let the algorithm guide you.

Curved Light Announces Spirit Echo

Leave a comment

Five years in the making, it’s time for Austin’s Curved Light to release the debut LP, Spirit Echo. Our first listen shows Peter Tran coming to grips with the collective past, present and future, with loops and beats battling for supremacy, competing for relevance in the listener’s ear. At times, it might feel disconcerting, as if nothing’s distinct enough to really make its own rise to the top. But, then compile that with the visual imagery and poetic inclusion of the video, uniting all the sounds for a common goal…a push forward for Tran and his sound. Spirit Echo is out on October 1st via Gentle Reminder.

Switched On Hosts Holodeck on Saturday

Leave a comment

Switched On is the heralded synthesizer shop over on East Cesar Chavez, and from time to time, they encourage gatherings of the musical/art realm…and I always encourage you to go. This Saturday, they’re hosting Austin’s own Holodeck Records…home to Boan, VVV, and that band Survive everyone keeps talking about. They’re bringing a bunch of their own artists like Dylan Cameron and Curved Light, but also inviting M. Geddes Genaras of LA out. But, as all great things truly are, this isn’t just about the music, as there will be visual artists there to stimulate some of your other fine senses. It’s a free event, and beverages will be provided by Austin Beer Works and High Brew Coffee!

Check This New Curved Light Single

Leave a comment

While the rock n’ roll scene is clearly alive and flourishing in Austin, lets not forget the incredible electronic scene that continues to inspire. The latest rising star is Curved Light, the project of synth composer Peter Tran. I love the gradual build to this song, especially as the tension pushes and pushes the listener right until the song’s last gasp. Don’t come here looking for that euphoric release, as this is clearly more about composition and structure, of the electronic sort. Look for a brand new batch of compositions on his Channelview mix coming out via Holodeck on this Friday.
