Holy Wire Releases Forgive Me
If you were keeping an eye on our site Friday, you heard Holy Wire remix a tune from My Favorite, but while dropping tags and what not, I realized I completely failed Alain by not covering his latest single. He was one of my favorite performers at our ATH vs SOTO show, and I’ve really enjoyed his brand of stylish pop. Sure, it’d be easy to lay it down as synth pop, but there’s something in his construction that just feels like so much more than that. His voice just absolutely feels huge and like something that will echo in your brain for some time. Hand down, he’s one of my favorite artists working in the ATX area at the moment, so get on board while this train steams ahead.
There was a ton of great music dropping last week, which seems to be the norm for this Spring…not that we mind one bit. I tried to give some love to our Austin friends like Jana Horn and Letting Up Despite Great Faults, who both dropped new releases…and new tunes from Batty Jr. and Born Twins too, so keeping the ATX alive. It was good to hear new stuff from Estonia’s Pia Fraus, who’ve always crafted great landscape shoegaze. New stuff from Cindy and Beach Fossils wasn’t a bad way to slide into the week either, but we closed it out with a fun feature between My Favorite and Holy Wire. Check it all out.
