Make It Heavy

No need to mess with the volume. It’s already cranked up for you. Holy Death Trio got their start in 2016, and according to legend, it all came about when Mercury was in retrograde.

Cazayoux at Arlo Grey

Peruse the credits on the new self-titled LP by Austin-based outfit Cazayoux and you’ll find fourteen musicians – fourteen – pouring all they’ve got into this impressive mix that hits you old school but so damn fresh at the same time.

SEA/SONS

The title of Abraham Alexander’s debut release SEA/SONS suggests a couple of things. There’s definitely a reflection of the time he spent growing up in Greece by the seaside with his brothers, before relocating to Texas. And then, the idea of seasons – not so much about the weather, but the changes in our lives. […]
