Magic City Hippies: “Little Bit of Love” (ft. Antwaun Stanley)

Like, perhaps, uprooting yourself clear across the country to make your next album. Magic City Hippies follow tradition with their new album Enemies. In the three years […]

J’cuuzi: “How 2 Get Everything You’ve Always Wanted 4 Free (Forever)”[PREMIERE]

Austin’s J’cuuzi are about as avantgarde as you can get. Or as I like to call them pop-vantgarde. They’re too electronic to be post-punk, too post-punk to be considered electronic, and a hair too melodic to be straight noise rock. But it’s hot, wild, and maybe a little dangerous, like a jacuzzi. Their live shows […]

Wabi Sabi and the Sweet Littles: “Nile Walk”

Austin’s Sam Hernandez has always seen life through a different prism. Colors, textures, and the planes of reality are subjective and mere suggestions. Influenced by the bubbly music of the 50s and 60s as well as an early penchant for Jim Henson and his muppets, Hernandez writes lovely songs to capture a familiar but not […]
