Steve Hauschildt: “Saccade” feat. Julianna Barwick

By: Jack Anderson

Electronic music lovers (such as myself) may already recognize the name Steve Hauschildt. Hauschildt was a core member of Cleveland trio Emeralds from their founding days til their dissolving in 2013, but he’s also been putting out his own solo material for the better half of the past decade. Today Hauschildt shares the modern-day electro 8-track, Dissolvi, mostly recorded in a windowless studio near his Chicago home. The final product is an album unaffected by the elements and reduced to thoughtful instrumentation with occasional abstract vocal features that leave plenty of room for interpretation.

Spacey atmospheres, subtle synths and head-bobbing drum grooves make Dissolvi an instant favorite! Check out the lead single featuring L.A.’s Julianna Barwick – “Saccade”.

Jefrey Siler: “Wounded in Similar Ways”

Part of what makes modern folk-rock acts like Mac DeMarco so memorable is their ability to walk a tightrope between self-deprecating humor, snarky remarks, and heartfelt wisdom. And it makes sense.

In the world of “gotcha”-style band handles (whose spot on a marquee may entice unsuspecting listeners in under false pretenses)…nothing will ever come close to “Free Beer”. As a result, countless college bands and beyond have adopted the “Free Beer” moniker, nowadays either temporarily or often with some kind of modifier (“Free Beer & Pizza” […]

Trunk: “Chili’s 45th and Lamar”

Depending on the general reception of a sitting administration, President’s Day often presents the creative community with opportunities to shed some sociopolitical discourse. Today, that’s not quite the case. Instead we’re yielding the podium to a group whose last two albums were Trunk’s America and north american practice space. Yes, we’re talking about Trunk. Look […]

Space Tan: “I Don’t Wanna Die”

Maybe it’s this never-ending relay race of global pandemics, the collective cabin fever many of us endured during the recent ice storm, or just a gentle mist of malaise. Whatever the affliction, if the Milky Way’s main attraction is shining when you’re feeling imprisoned indoors, it’s always worth taking a couple of minutes to soak […]
