Good Looks: “Walker Lake”

By: Jack Anderson

As promised, we’re perusing a whole new batch of Austin ACL acts for you to enjoy during Weekend Two, continuing today with indie four-piece Good Looks. We named Good Looks as our May 2022 Artist of the Month right around the release of their landmark debut LP Bummer Year. But despite the seven-song’s title, and an accident that could’ve gone much worse, Good Looks has spent 2022 proving they’re an airtight, need-to-see live act. As such, best pressed to catch Good Looks at Austin City Limits 1PM this Saturday at the Tito’s Handmade Vodka Stage. Expect to hear Bummer Year in its entirety, and relish in the Barton Springs-adjacent atmosphere with infectious indie inlets like “Walker Lake”.

They’re both must-hear Austin mainstays for a damn good reason; The Bright Light Social Hour continues to innovate a sweet-yet-sinister indie-psych sound while Riders Against the […]

Nolina: “Tourist”

Decades after acts like Les Paul & Mary Ford, Captain & Tenille, and Ike & Tina had their heyday, seeing the phrase “husband-and-wife duo” can personally make me wince. Like we get it; you love each other, you’ve got great chemistry together, and you have a lot of emotions you need to dispense, but often, […]

Scone Cash Players: “Cold 40s”

Contemporary curators for some of the best instrumental genres (namely jazz) seem to be fearless when it comes to digital hi-fi production. But thankfully, some of the finest facilitators of the funk-soul sound still prefer the “authentic” old school character of analogue techniques. Amongst them is Hammond organ extraordinaire Adam Scone. Scone and his magic […]
