Harmony Byrne: “Loving You Is Lonely”

By: Jack Anderson

New month, new music! To ease you into this weekend, let’s talk a bit about Harmony Byrne. This Aussie singer was one of seven children growing up in a Mormon household when she first latched onto church hymns and eventually rock n roll. Now in her mid-20s, Byrne combines the best of both worlds with her gospel-tinged vocal-driven alternative rock.

Jim Eno of Spoon entered the picture recently when he took on the role of producer for Byrne’s upcoming debut album Heavy Doors, due later this year. Harmony Byrne will be in town for SXSW and today she shares a teaser from Heavy Doors, “Loving You is Lonely”!


Harmony’s SXSW Dates:
Monday, March 11th 6PM l SXSW Second Play Stage @ JW Marriott
Tuesday, March 12th 5PM l Sound Dessert @ Sellers
Friday, March 15th 1:55PM l Australia House
Saturday, March 16th 6PM l Stephen F’s Bar

Danielle Ponder: “Someone Like You” (ACL Fest Pop-Up)

It’s the first day of our Fall Membership Drive and the final day of sharing our ACL Fest Pop-Up performances…so we saved the best for last. True to her surname, Danielle Ponder has no holds spending time deep in thought. In fact, that introspection somewhat recently led her to an objectively risky shift – leaving […]

iLe: “Traguito” (ACL Fest Pop-Up)

Although much of it might’ve been spent on the couch streaming Hulu, we feel like one of the brightest highlights of ACL Fest Weekend One was Adrian Quesada’s Boleros Psicodelícos. And that’s mainly thanks to the sheer quantity and astonishing caliber of international vocalists who flooded the forty-five minute set Saturday afternoon on the Honda […]

Luna Luna: “Call Me Up” (ACL Fest Pop-Up)

We’re on Day Two of featuring our Austin City Limits pop-up performances, and given the recent shift in seasons (plus a gorgeous full moon casting joy across Zilker during Weekend One), we’d be remiss if we didn’t listen back to Luna Luna. Following up their third full-length Flower Moon (and a steadily growing brand of […]

Dehd: “Control” (ACL Fest Pop-Up)

Oh boy, after two long weekends out at Zilker Park, we’re betting the vast majority of fest-goers are dead tired after Austin City Limits. Not us though! Our impeccable multimedia team’s been hard at work turning around an exclusive batch of intimate, backstage performances, starting today with Dehd. Six years since their eponymous debut, these […]

Como Las Movies: “La Tiendita” (feat. Finessa)

As is tradition here at KUTX, ACL tends to dominate our airwaves the first half of October. But overlapping across both fest coverage and Hispanic Heritage Month is our October 2022 Artist of the Month, Como Las Movies. With the exception of a two-year hiatus, the Spotify-curated, AMA-nominated Austin-based cumbia-indie-pop quartet has been spearheaded by […]

Urban Heat: “City Lights” (Live in Studio 1A)

It’s been really cool to see folks we’ve featured as our Artists of the Month advance up into official ACL acts. Yesterday we gave a shoutout to our May 2022 AotM Good Looks and today we move onto Urban Heat. This post-punk three-piece first stopped into Studio 1A back in February to swelter listeners with […]

Good Looks: “Walker Lake”

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 […]
