San Gabriel Drops Close 2 U

Leave a comment

I know we are not officially at the release date of Nights and Weekends, but having heard it, I really want to congratulate San Gabriel on crafting a beautiful record that hits all the right notes. The mixture of pop and dreamy sounds seems to be a mastered craft at this point for songsmith James Bookert, but the lyrical content seems reflective too, allowing listeners to let the words resonate with their own emotions. This song hits home for me, with Bookert looking back on past relationships where the nostalgia can sometimes make you forget how unhealthy things were. Wrapping it all in this dreamy soundscape with bouncing hooks just makes the tune stick longer in your brain. You’re going to love Nights and Weekends; it drops next week!

San Gabriel Plays with Fire

Leave a comment

If I could pick an artist that I wished could cross over into the masses, I’d love for folks to catch onto San Gabriel…and this new single might be the one to catch some ears. Trickling keys and samples open the track to this angular riff that hits sharply; it sets up the rush of the hook perfectly, opening the door for James to walk into the frame. Once he hits, his voice is surrounded by various backing voices, filling the empty space with textural layers, all of it leading to this masterful chorus that should have you punching the air with joy. If you’re willing to let joy into your heart, open it to the tune below; Nights and Weekends is out August 15th.

San Gabriel Shares Alone in My Room

Austin is going to miss the work of James Bookert, aka San Gabriel. He already built a name for himself with his former Whiskey Shivers project, and was poised to be the glue that brought the pop world together with the indie kids. Now, Austin is at a loss as Bookert has moved off to Oregon, but the world will still get to experience his extreme talents. The mood is set with a few heavy keyboard notes hitting, then the samples open up into this hypnotic ambiance, returning as the beat drops right into the mixture. Once James voice comes in, some of the ambiance fades a bit letting the hooks become the resonating factor as he coolly sings atop; it does, to a degree, feel like he’s crafting this song alone in his room. Really looking forward to his debut Nights and Weekends, dropping on August 15th via Share It Music.

San Gabriel Announces Nights and Weekends

Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe that Nights and Weekends is the debut album of former Austin resident, San Gabriel. We were fortunate to have him crush one of our legendary SXSW shows, and the hype around town was real. His ability to craft these synth pop gems that walk the line between pop and bedroom projects has always been one of his greatest gifts, and you can hear the melodic softness in his voice a he hangs the chorus “are we running out of time” out there for listeners. Music should make you feel good, and you’re going to find yourself in the feels when cranking this one up; Nights and Weekends hits August 15th.

More Music from Teddy Glass

Leave a comment

Nights and Weekends is out in just a few weeks, so we’ve got to continue to support our friends in Teddy Glass. They just dropped this new track, a mixture of soul and funky pop undertones; it has this wobbly synth/beat line that sort of keeps you unsettled in the best way. Of course, Peter holds down the vocal display, and interestingly, he’s almost got this fatherly tone to his voice this go-round…as if he’s passing on some sage advice your way. You know, just another Austin act making good on their promise to keep bringing hot tracks our way.

Ageless Pop Stylings from Remote Places

remoteplacesThere are some brands of music that seem wholly set in their certain place in time; they seem to live in a moment, rather that making pop that transcends time…but not so with Remote Places. Sure, there are hints of hauntology, looking back at the club hits of the 80s, but the shimmering guitars and spinning melodies make the track perfectly vital in today’s time frame; it fits anywhere; it’s good anywhere, timeless. Look for the new Night and Weekends EP from Box Theory.
