Loving THE PLAN
For one, the lyrical content, or even the message, in this track from THE PLAN is enough to make me, a literature teacher, foam at the mouth; I might even use it whilst introducing my students to annotating today! Musically, there’s a dark post-punk/art rock vibe, which fits my musical needs as well. Jagged chords prod in and out, leaving space for Rebecca Gillieron (of Wetdog) to take on stabbing vocal lines, seemingly emphasized by the punctuation of drum hits. The group are set to drop Nervous Energy on October 13th via Southend Records.
Our city is awesome, and we already knew that, but with each additional discovery of yet another solid band, or the reemergence of a band who has been around for a bit, my trust in Austin grows a bit.
