Song of the Day

By: Jack Anderson

For those who don’t already recognize the name Mark Noseworthy…you will soon. Best known currently for providing lead guitar for Strokes alum Albert Hammond, Jr., Noseworthy is taking 2018 by the reigns to create a name for himself. That name? Terri Terri. You can say that again! And if you do you get Terri Terri’s powerhouse of a self-titled debut – nine songs performed almost entirely by Noseworthy across keyboards, bass, auxiliary percussion, saxophone, vocals and of course – guitar. Save for drums, mastering and artwork Terri Terri is pure Noseworthy – unbound by genre ascriptions other than honest expression through rock songwriting.

Terri Terri came out last Tuesday and you can dive in with a free download of the inaugural track – “Attention”.

For fans of Westerns (such as myself) the name “Yuma” instantly conjures phrases like The Man From ____, The Rebel Johnny ____, and of course 3:10 to ____. But you can go ahead and toss out any sort of rustic country connotation you may have because Austin five-piece Yuma is straight up R&B-pop. Spanning the seven years since Yuma initially formed over Craigslist, the group has experienced the addition of several new members as well as their fair share of sonic transitions. The manifestation of Yuma’s musical maturation is the new EP Letters to the Editor – released today. Letters to the Editor was recorded by Mark DuFour of Ghostland Observatory and features songs with lyrics inspired by science fiction. Dive in right now with a tune whose lyrics bandleader Jesse Liberty penned based on Alan Moore’s Watchmen – “Ozy”.

Austin alt-rockers Hooka Hey are back, baby, and they’re grittier, louder, and faster than ever. Three years since the release of 2015’s Untamed EP (and five years since making Austin their home by way of Paris, France), these guys return with all the vigor, blues, and sludge you love, but–like with every release of theirs–it keeps on a positive trend of turning up the knobs on all three, this time hitting an 8 flirting with a 9. Something new, local, gritty, and hard-hitting– if this week’s worked hard to crush your soul, “Herlock” will help you feel re-rock-invigorated. Cherry on top? You get to taste it two weeks before the rest of the world. Eat up!

“Herlock” appears on the upcoming album War Cry, out this May.

Eight years after the release of her first solo record, Karen Dreijer is back, and this time she feels everything deeper and darker. Recorded in her own Stockholm studio, Plunge does just that– the product of Dreijer feeling everything deeper and translating the “processing” through music. Leaden with nods to 80s new wave, Dreijer marries those nods with unique vocal stylings all her own, providing the perfect music companion to your happy-go-lucky mood.

“To the Moon and Back” appears on Plunge, out now via Mute Records.

Exciting times for longtime latin eight-piece El Tule! This Saturday not only marks the release of their fifth album Bailando, it also commemorates fifteen years since El Tule first assembled. In the four albums and countless live shows undertaken in the past decade and a half, Bailando showcases El Tule’s cumbia and afro-cuban sound as honestly as possible – through analog tape. You can catch El Tule performing Saturday night at Hotel Vegas alongside Plan Sonidero and DJ Megabass. Ease back into the work week in the best way possible – with a self-referential song appearing halfway through Bailando‘s six tracks – “Bailando El Tule”. They’re not difficult instructions – dance with El Tule!

Probably best known as a member of Austin’s Bright Light Social Hour, multi-instrumentalist Curtis Roush is quickly making a name for himself with his new solo record. Cosmic Campfire Music (out February 9th) features Roush taking a sonic departure from Bright Light Social Hour’s heavy familiarities with a softer acoustic sound married with classic psychedelic production. Roush joins us live in Studio 1A next Thursday at 1pm but you can treat yourself this Friday with the first of nine tracks from Cosmic Campfire Music – “Mirage”. Let’s get lost.

Dan Croll’s music is infectious, and the dance floor is ground 0. Just 22-years-old, he’s made waves in his native UK with his sweet indie melodies and sleek synthpop-stylings and those waves are pouring across the pond and right into your almost-Friday ears.  He took the last song off last year’s Emerging Adulthood, offered it up to some of his favorite musicians and producers, and collected the remixes onto their own Tokyo EP, out last November. “Tokyo” doesn’t usher you to get up and dance, it commands it. Ignited with full energy right out of the gate, the song makes you feel like you just threw open the door to a huge cool-kids party already in full swing, sweeping you into the deluge of synthpop and fun energy from the first note. Stay out late, break curfew, and get down!

“Tokyo” appears on Emerging Adulthood and Tokyo EP, both out now.
