Mary Bryce: “flowers”

By: Jack Anderson

Following a year-long respite from the now-defunct five-piece Dreamboat, Austin’s Mary Bryce is returning with new vocal compositions – this time in solo form and with a more personal sonic sensibility. Currently showcasing her sheer singing talent with local favorites SMiiLE, Bryce’s first recorded foray into her as-of-yet unfamiliar solo venture is an enthralling vocal performance inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Ella Fitzgerald. Produced by SMiiLE frontman Jake Miles, Bryce’s debut single “flowers” will allure you with a captivating vocal performance complemented by R&B poly rhythms and swelling orchestral strings.

Bryce’s next solo performance is Feb. 21st at Cheer Up Charlie’s but you can download “flowers” right here on KUTX!

The Midnight Stroll: “It Ain’t Worth a Dream”

When in Austin, you’re bound to run into some cross pollination among bands. For Austin-based duo, The Midnight Stroll, this is nothing short of the truth. Featuring the frontman of Ghostland Observatory, Aaron Behrens, and musical jack-of-all-trades, Jonas Wilson (Heartless Bastards, Urban Heat, Black Angels, and more), their latest and 3rd, upcoming single, “It Ain’t […]

Kolumbo: “Spin the Bottle”

For a lot of people with contemporary tastes, exotica only equates to easy listening. Understandably so, since in the modern era it may strike first time listeners as muzak, elevator vapidity…jazz sans soul. But when you strip those biases and revisit the movement that began with the likes of Martin Denny and Les Baxter, you […]

When Saints Go Machine: “Chainsaw”

There’s probably a big chunk of Texas choosing not to think about the word “saints” after last weekend. But even Cowboys fans can agree that a quality chainsaw is a great way to start carving into the weekend. I mean, chainsaws have been a state pride since 1974, right? So if you’re overdue for some […]

The Jaws of Brooklyn: “Litebringer”

We don’t really put stock in the idea of “talent by association”. Sure, we’ve witnessed plenty of attempts to pivot from a successful group into a profitable solo offshoot. But if they didn’t have the spark to start with, they won’t have much to bargain with on their own. And on the ongoing collaborative level, […]

Gypsy Mitchell: “Drive By”

We’ve been gabbin’ a lot about the retro soul renaissance lately…so much so that y’all must be getting pretty sick of reading about it. But what comes after soul? That’s right. Funk. And boy oh boy do we gotta have that funk here in Central Texas. So with our scopes still set on the Lone […]

Inesse: “On My Way”

Outside of theater, choir’s typically stereotyped as the vehicle for churning out stars of the next generation. Which makes sense, since it gives you all the essentials to become a singing sensation: allowing harmony to become a natural instinct, blending your voice convincingly alongside others (even in chorus), and most importantly for future potential, maximizing […]

Female Gallery: “Simon Says”

Scrolling through social media, watching ten-second clips of people’s little circus acts in the comfort of their own natural habitats…it can sometimes feel like a human zoo. So while we’ll never fully encourage those vapid grasps at short-term stardom, anything that detracts from the oversaturated landscape of bland masculinity in the entertainment sector’s worth the […]
