Austin Spotlight: Sleepy Holler
I am continually amazed by the amount of quality bands growing out of the Austin scene right now. Â It seems like everyday we’re finding a new band to provide some sweet music to our ears. Â Today I bring you a project from local songwriter Matthew Evans and his pal J.T. Wilcox who call themselves Sleepy Holler. Â This duo have combined to create this breathtaking, sort of hushed folk music that’s both beautiful and mesmerizing while still capable of being called pop music. Â To me, the band meshes the greatest parts of groups like JBM, Local Natives, and Austinites Balmorhea. Â If you can’t picture that sort of thing happening, check out the track below and see what I mean.
You can check out a brand new 6 song EP by Sleepy Holler over on their bandcamp page.
