Tomar & The FCs: “Shine Your Light” (Live in Studio 1A)

By: Jack Anderson

In the grand scheme of his career, Tomar Williams only recently pivoted from hip hop producer to return to his roots as a knockout soul singing frontman. Residing and performing regularly right here in Austin, Tomar & The FCs bring a new energy to a classic soul sound. A couple years ago Tomar & The FCs were featured as KUTX Artist of the Month back when they released their debut full-length Heart Attack, culminating in several KUTX features.

Tomar & The FCs have a new album in the works, due for release later this year and they’ll be topping off tonight’s non-campsite performances at Old Settler’s Music Festival on the Bluebonnet Stage from 10:45pm all the way to midnight. Prepare yourself for a lack of light pollution and compensate with Tomar’s bright aura and infectious positivity with the live Studio 1A Recording of “Shine Your Light”.

Annabelle Chairlegs: “Ice Cream on the Beach”

It’s been a minute since we checked-in with Austin surf-psych outfit Annabelle Chairlegs. And honestly, “Candy Apple Red,” is still living in my head rent-free five years later. Now the group (fronted by Lindsay Mackin) is back after a three-year hiatus, and what better way to come back than with an album produced by Ty […]

S.G. Goodman: “I’m In Love” [Live In Studio 1A]

Beyond being a musician, S.G. Goodman is an educator. Truly, how many of us knew about the old Appalachian tradition of planting by the moon? Using moon phases and their gravitational pull to determine what crops to plant when (beans, peas, and eggplant during the second quarter, if you were wondering). But the moon’s power […]

Datura: “Ain’t No Honky Tonks”

“There ain’t no honky tonks in Philadelphia,” laments Jessica Pyrdsa AKA Datura. The latest single from the Lockhart-based artist’s upcoming album, Saint Cecilia, takes a pivot from her piano-driven, jazz-meets-art-pop sound for this equally cinematic, blues-leaden country hall slow dance that feels like a waltz in all but time signature. Here, her skills as a […]

Elijah Delgado: “Hide + Seek” [HAAM Day Re-Heat]

In that time, he’s performed with national acts like Sister Hazel and Dayglow and has appeared at Old Settler’s Music Fest and Utopiafest. And today, he’s got a HAAM Day set for your downtime lunchtime listening. “Hide + Seek” showcases Delgado’s continued progression […]

Parker Woodland: “Get Me to the Show”

Austin’s Parker Woodland are back with potentially their rawest song yet, and certainly my favorite one to date. Standing firmly in their vintage pop-punk sound comes “Get Me to the Show,” a punchy tune packed with earwormy hooks and raw, female-led energy fueled by Erin Walters’s signature vocals pivoting between pop harmonies and Sleater-Kinney-like attitude […]

Tear Dungeon: “Kill For Health” [Live In Studio 1A] RE-RUN

It’s Weird Wednesday, and I aim to keep it that way. And what better to stay on theme than to revisit a recent favorite of mine from Studio 1A? Tear Dungeon is truly to be seen. Between the uniform of all-white street clothes paired with leather gimp masks and the perpetual question, “what will hit […]

West Texas Exiles: “Division” (ft. Kelly Willis)

All musical motifs of the Lone Star State converge in Austin’s West Texas Exiles. The quartet, made up of members hailing from El Paso, Amarillo, and Lubbock, draws inspiration from all squares of the Texas music quilt, from Willie to Buddy and everyone in between. Their debut full-length album 8000 Days came out last Friday, […]

Yuno: “Blest” [LIVE IN STUDIO 1A]

Jacksonville, Florida’s Yuno is DIY-defined. The self-taught musician and producer has been fine-tuning his brand of indie-pop mixed with reggae, hip-hop and skate culture influences to boot for some time, and that perfect mix of luck and talent caught the eye of Shabazz Palace member and Sub Pop rep Ishmael Butler, and the rest is, […]
