Feeling Small Shares The Room Acts Small

This past Friday our friend Chase Weinacht, who currently is operating under his Feeling Small moniker, released another great single. His wordplay is perfect, and in a strange way, reminded me of the first time I listened to John K. Sampson. But, when I read through the credits, the song also encompasses one of the reasons I’ve really been digging his solo work…the community. This track features local Austin artists like Grace Rowland, Andrew Stevens and Santiago Dietche, all artists we’ve written about, but more importantly, all artists who are part of the lifeblood of the last decade plus of Austin music. It shows a level of trust in friends and in collaborators, which I know Chase values, so that makes me value him and his work all the more. Just listen already.

Daphne Tunes Organizes Covered

Our good friend Santiago has been a big part of our site and our label; the label released an LP from his band Growl, and last week we released the Pelvis Wrestley tape, a band of which he is a part. But, he’s really been focusing the last few years on Daphne Tunes, and this time around he’s organized a bunch of friends to throw together some recordings of their favorite tunes; the release is aptly called Covered. There are some other ATH Records alums on here in the form of J Halp (of Marmalakes) and Most Likely (Sam of Growl), but also some great locals we love like Emily and Al of Van Mary or Teddy Glass. Just wanted to give a shout out to the release, with all proceeds going to Urban Roots Initiative. Stream it, love it, buy it, enjoy it.

ATX Spotlight: Spot On Folk From Rain Collectors

raincollectorsSo, the folks over at Side One Track One got the premiere of this track,but it’s too damn good to not spread the love over here as well. We’ve loved ATX’s own Rain Collectors, or Santiago Dietche and Blair Robbins, for a while now, and have grown quite fond of their stripped down folksy duo sound. This new track, “Lately,” is every bit as lovely as what we’ve heard thus far from these two. Once again, they’ve put out a stunning example of a duet, their voices melding together as one in harmony. Check it out below.
