G Flip: “Stupid”

By: Jack Anderson

When G Flip, aka Georgia Flipo, put out her self-produced single “About Time”, she couldn’t imagine what would happen next. Overnight, she received recognition from Pitchfork, NPR, and Rolling Stone and had booked eight showcases at SXSW to start. The Melbourne based drummer, producer, and songwriter grew up and playing in the background in bands ranging from reggae to pop-rock but found a chance to create her own music after the bands she was playing with kept fizzling out. About Us, G Flip’s first album out August 30th came after two months spent holed up in her bedroom, chronicling the end of her relationship as it coincided with the rise of her music career.

On “Stupid” G Flip combines woozy indie-pop sensibilities and catchy lyrics to capture the self-sabotage that comes with the inevitable end of a relationship. Backed by her signature drum beats, G Flip is bringing a new, upbeat meaning to bedroom pop.

TIGERS EYE: “All We Ever Know”

Earlier this year we helped introduce the world to Austin’s TIGERS EYE and today we’re keeping the marble rolling with their latest. To recap, this Austin four-piece is the passion project of frontman Jeremy Baker, an ex-pat of California’s Cydeways and a recent transplant. TIGERS EYE only made their streaming debut this past March, but […]

BOOHER: “All Out Of Ideas”

You find an act in town. You fall in love with their music. You start making regular appearances at their shows. And then, sometimes seemingly out of the blue…they quit giggin’. Most of us have been there; it’s more or less a rite of passage for any dedicated scenester. But when that act does make […]

Magdalena Bay: “Image”

Buenos Aires. Miami. Los Angeles. All three coastal (or with the latter at least coast-adjacent) metropolises that perfectly embody the breezy, night drive-friendly feel of synth-pop. But no matter where contributions to that style get made, once they’re unleashed, they enter the subconscious for world’s internal ’80s-inspired electronic score, whether you’re attempting to court a […]

Big Bill: “Hawk” / “Trick Everybody” (Live at Mohawk)

Over the past three weeks you’ve heard plenty about our August 2024 Artist of the Month Big Bill. But be honest…have you seen them live yet? Because despite the quality of their studio recordings, the real magic happens once Big Bill sets foot onstage to a packed house. Fortunately for those who haven’t yet witnessed […]

Gracky: “Up All Night”

Folk music fosters some of the most wholesome creators. And when you look past the transplant apathy that’s rampant within our city limits, you’re usually reminded of that greater Lone Star State trait: kindness to strangers. So naturally, Texas folk musicians are some of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. Perfect example? Grace Roberson, who […]

J Halp: “You Let Me Down”

Song quality is rarely measured in runtime; as long as it “hits”, there’s no need to wear out your welcome. Like for every “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” there’s a “Song 2” or a “Disciples”, right? Because when you’ve done everything you need to do to make a tune total, and as long as a quick dose of dopamine […]

Free Hamze: “Two $idez” (feat. YoursTruuly)

Fifty years down the line from its humble block party origins, we can officially classify hip-hop as a legacy genre. And although there are plenty of genre stalwarts who themselves are “over the hill” and still cranking out quality material, there’s no denying rap is a young man’s game. In terms of the latter, it’s […]
