Husbands: “Manhorse”

By: Jack Anderson

In light of their markedly spousal name, some of the strongest offerings from OKC-Seattle duo Husbands have come from separation. Just look at their expansive track record of singles going back to 2013, culminating in three EPs, two Christmas albums, and most recently their sophomore (non-yuletide) full-length, which was largely written while bandmates Wil Norton and Danny Davis were living in different cities.

The baker’s dozen on mid-January’s After the Gold Rush Party were pan-mined and smelted down from about seventy rough originals, sifting through grainy tropicalia, vintage no wave, bedroom pop, garage, and more, all the while redefining what it means to be “punk rock” as still-maturing adults in life’s beach. You can catch Husbands tomorrow night at Cheer Up Charlie’s, so get the pre-game started with the duo’s own stab at interspecies husbandry, “Manhorse”!

Beth Lee: “Another Day”

Hayden Butler: “Old News”

Feeling comfortable can quickly devolve into a dangerous game. One weekend you decide to kick back and relax with a six pack, then the next thing you know you’re stuck in a daily routine of gettin’ smashed and trashing your home. Yeah, substance abuse and addictive tendencies aside, that “recliner decline” is a slippery slope […]

Co-Stanza: “Bet On Love” (prod. Neoma & Jim Eno)

For a lot of industry folks who have “made it”, they’re more than happy to use their powers “for good” by helping to boost the profile of “the little guy”…to pretty much whoever’s willing to pay their fee. On the other hand, while Public Hi-Fi headmaster Jim Eno retains a well-deserved rate for most clients, […]

Josie Lockhart: “Every Kind of Light”

One of the more intriguing musical migrations as of late has been the blurring of lines between psych, Americana, and synth. Ya know, that hint of trippy in the twang. That splash of pop songwriting against a Southern backdrop. And between our geographical position and Austin’s ever-expanding melting pot status, we’ve witnessed it unfold firsthand. […]
