FlecHaus: “Betelgeuse”

By: Jack Anderson

Singer Megan Flechaus kicked off her songwriting career at age fifteen and released her solo LP New back in 2014…but that was just the beginning. See, Megan moved to Austin shortly after gaining recognition based on the vigor of New and quickly formed her eponymous five-piece FlecHaus with a roster of musicians coming from diverse backgrounds.

Since then FlecHaus has accrued an admirable following and a few awards under their belt, thanks to the quintet’s smattering of indie, folk, soul, R&B, country, jazz, blues, and even a little bit of classical, all woven together with complex and infectious arrangements. Just last Friday FlecHaus shared a new single, one that ponders over the existential implications behind the star Betelgeuse and its potential supernova, and frankly…it’s out of this world.

Honey Hideouts: “Goodbyes”

By nature, the id of a creative is often occupied by abstract fragments, waiting to be manifested. But sometimes the spark to bring something new to fruition only arrives with a change of scenery. And a recent case of such comes courtesy of Denmark’s Markus Artved. An accomplished producer who’s lent his ear to Lukas […]

Gary Devlin: “Waves”

We’ll never deny the merits of lyrical therapy. Then again, the staying power and worldwide accessibility of meditative genres like classical and jazz has little to do with curated words. And more often than not with that universality, comes positivity. Cut to El Paso-born, Arlington-based songwriter-guitarist Gary Devlin. Sure, Gary’s got the makings of a great […]

The Tibbs: “Ain’t It Funny”

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again; the retro-soul renaissance of the last 10-15 years has been one of the most refreshing trends to break into the mainstream. And it’s been especially intriguing to hear countries outside of the U.S. tackle that classic Motown/Stax sound with their own takes on those brassy, upbeat, […]

Cinnamontal: “P.R.P.P.P.”

Olivia Nowadays: “Damn This Is Real Bad”

In the era of the phonograph, when sound quality was essentially nonexistent, whatever got cut to the cylinder is whatever crackled out. Nowadays, there’s a huge divide in listener tastes when it comes to fidelity. On one side of the spectrum you’ve got audiophiles who demand nothing less than ultra-refined digital masters that make it […]
