Geoff Bradford: “UFOs”

By: Jack Anderson

Although our neighbors in New Mexico get a lot of alien-centric attention thanks to Roswell, the mystique of the “Marfa Lights” has made Texas a destination for extraterrestrial enthusiasts. And when it comes to “visitors” here on Earth, singer-bassist Geoff Bradford definitely qualifies; with a youth divided between New York City, Western Europe, West Africa, and South America and an ongoing love of travel, Bradford has a knack for making contact. Here in Austin he’s begun to make a name for himself with his eponymous songwriter project, having released his first two EPs, Texas Psychedelic and Seven Fat Years, in 2021. Geoff Bradford broadcasts his otherworldly talent once again on his upcoming third EP, where he’ll keep psychedelia close at hand while exploring depths away from his standard jazz-pop formulas. You can encounter Bradford 7:30pm next Wednesday at Sahara Lounge and 5:30pm the following Monday at Central Market North Lamar, so treat Geoff Bradford’s latest single like with the monolith from 2001, and let the banging beats and ominous spoken word of “UFOs” catapult you into the stratosphere.

The Sophs: “House”

L.A. six-piece the Sophs are true chameleons. Whether they’re throwing in some twang on a college party bop, going full pop-punk nostalgia, or, in the case, of “House,” painting a Shirley Jackson-like story of a man living in a hovel built from and on bones, surrounded by ethereal remnants of past occupants and adding more […]

Glass Mansions: “Sunsetting”

Austin dark pop trio Glass Mansions, known for their lush, electronic leaden, pop-driven rhythms, are back with their most emotional and close-to-the-chest song to date. Following the sudden loss of both of her parents and disenchanted with the notion that you’ll always get to create “the next thing,” frontwoman Jayna Doyle asks herself, “what would […]

Grocery Bag: “Stop Calling Me Out”

Austin garage-punk darlings Grocery Bag are back baby! Ahead of their shows as official SXSW 2026 artists, today they release “Stop Calling Me Out,” a song that hits you in the face with the group’s signature garage-psych brashness, but this time a little more melody has been added to the cauldron, one slightly reminiscent of […]

Magna Carda: “Digging You More”

Austin’s Magna Carda’s new single “Digging you more” has a smooth, intentional ease — blending soulful R&B textures with hip-hop in a way that feels intimate without being overstated. There’s a warm, atmospheric quality to the production that creates space rather than filling it. Ahead of their upcoming album ininnoutcheamind, out March 10th, Magna Carda […]

Quentin: “Hello Denial”

Austin’s Quentin is as much of a visual artist as they are a performer. Ahead of the release of their upcoming album TOMGIRL, Quentin has released the music video for the gut-spilling “Hello Denial,” an anthemic art pop tune, smooth, groovy, and a little sultry before being punctuated with slightly fuzzed-out guitar chords, fueled by […]
