Valley Flower: “Valley Flower”

“Black Sabbath” by Black Sabbath. “Bo Diddley” by Bo Diddley. “Motörhead” by Motörhead. Is there a way to introduce a new band’s brand better than by making your debut song title and project name one in the same? Well, especially within the proving grounds of bluegrass – where instrumental choices are often near-identical and distinguishing […]

ALLYSE.: “Cherry On Top”

Looking to cool off with something super tasty this summer? Austin locals are in luck with an opportunity to sate more than one sense in the same sitting! And you can thank ALLYSE. for all that. A nomadic military brat and classically-trained singer, ALLYSE. turned ATX into her HQ seven years back, where she’s since […]

Lizzie Karr: “Honey”

Yesterday we praised Queen Serene for their ability to pivot away from pigeonholing their own sound. So in that same sentiment of dodging predictability, today we’re calling on another Austinite who’s kept us guessing: Lizzie Karr. With a range of inspirations that span from D’Angelo to Ani DiFranco, you can already tell from the get-go that […]

Queen Serene: “Glowing”

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But in an era where song options are limitless, song lengths are preferred shorter, and attention spans are especially acute, patience rarely proves a virtue for new listeners, which means strong first impressions are still worth fighting for. On that note, this time around we’ll […]

Sweet Slacks: “Scratch Off”

Depending on your office’s dress code, you might’ve gotten a sarcastic compliment on your khaki business bottoms. Or maybe someone once gave you genuine praise on a sanguine series of work messages. If not, we’ve got a good reason for the phrase “sweet slacks” to enter your mind and exit your mouth. And that’s on […]

Isis Destiny: “R U Mine ?” (feat. Opera Mauv)

Poetry. Painting. Tailoring. And that’s all in one audacious Austinite’s regular wheelhouse, without even accounting for their live performance pursuits. Like…save some media forms for the rest of us, sheesh! While there’s assuredly a ton of people out there who fit that bill, today we’re talking about Austin’s Isis Destiny, formerly Amira Isis Destiny. Since […]

Stalefish: “Becoming the Square”

If you’re into Japanese cuisine, you know the fresh fish is the best: the nigiri, the good stuff. And while we wouldn’t recommend going so far from fresh that you end up with surströmming, you don’t gotta be a skater to know that there’s a real appeal going for Stalefish. Faithful to their name, Stalefish […]

arya: “USE ME”

It’s a twofer this Friday! We’ve got a brand new release alongside a weekend show recommendation. And both arrive on behalf of arya. arya’s not just another dime a dozen bedroom pop Billie Eilish wannabe. No, this Belgrade-born bae is almost overqualified for saturated world of pop-hip-hop-R&B; after a decade in Serbia playing classical piano […]
