Matters of the Heart

Summary

This afternoon’s Studio 1A performance hosted by Jay Trachtenberg was another winner. Bedouine – the moniker of musician/songwriter/composer Azniv Korkejian – strikes a gothic Americana chord on a level similar to that of her colleagues before her. Names like Nick Drake, Harry Nilsson, and most especially Joni Mitchell tend to pop up in comparison, but know that Korkejian is no pale imitation. Two years after an impressive self-titled debut, the L.A.-based artist followed up with another fantastic release, Bird Songs of a Killjoy, a striking orchestral mix of sixties-styled folk, country funk and a touch of bossa nova, exploring the strengths, the depths, the loneliness of solitude.

Bedouine is in Austin for a performance tonight at Barracuda, 611 E. 7th St. Austin-based artist and longtime AMM favorite Julian Neel is the perfect opener for the show. Doors at 7 p.m. Very recommended.

Push Back

For your Austin Music Minute host, this one goes back to a band called Fresh Millions. Geoff Earle is no slouch. The multi-talented Austin musician would build entire worlds with jarring layers and explosions of electronic/rock/funk aural transmitters radiating from some rando central nervous system that wouldn’t quit. The earliest manifestation is on Fresh Millions’ […]

All Life’s Worth

There is no denying the emotional resonance of Sunny War‘s voice. That feeling is instant. But you’ll also discover that singular strength in the way she plays guitar. Deliberate. Intricate. A lingering depth. A musician’s musician in varying degrees. And an all-around badass. The Los Angeles-based artist has deep roots in the LA punk scene, […]
