hey hey - Austin Town Hall

Other Lives Shar Hey Hey Video

Other Lives are one of those band’s that tried to build their songs layer by layer; I’ve always appreciated that about them; they bring everything they have to the table, be it instruments or textured vocals. They do the same here on their latest single (I might have voted for a touch of editing), but what I appreciate here is the exuberance that seems to evolve in the song. Typically, Jesse’s songs are more melancholy and slow, but there’s almost a joyousness here that’s not been omni-present in their music. This tune appears on their new album For Their Love, out April 24th via ATO Records.

ATX Spotlight: Meet Art Pop

January 6, 2017 nathan.lankford One comment

We’re in the midst of Free Week, and that always means discovery of local Austin acts, and in the midst of all that I hit upon Art Pop. Musically, it’s hard to place the band; there’s a driving force here, but also a quirky bit of electronic pulses squawking through the background. Amongst the city there are tons of great artists, but not sure I’ve heard one combining the elements quite like this…even allowing for extra space and exploration in the song’s middle. Go ahead, give it a listen.
