Judy Blank: “Cosmic Kids” (ft. SUSTO)

Growing up in the Netherlands, Judy Blank fostered an early love for classic American cinema. She’s married that love with her stamp of DIY-indie eclecticism, sometimes leaning more Americana (something she honed during her brief time as a Nashvillian) and sometimes dreamy indie-pop, but always poetic, seemingly effortless, and marked with that signature Dutch wit and brutal honesty. Now calling Austin home, Judy Blank is our November KUTX Artist of the Month, and she stopped by Studio 1A to perform songs from her new album Big Mood and was joined by fellow Austinite and SUSTO frontman Justin Osbourne on “Cosmic Kids.”

KUTX’s Artist of the Month program is powered by PNC Bank.

Judy Blank: “Toy Heart” [Backstage at ACL Fest]

Growing up in the Netherlands, Judy Blank fostered an early love for classic American cinema. She’s married that love with her stamp of DIY-indie eclecticism, sometimes leaning more Americana (something she honed during her brief time as a Nashvillian) and sometimes dreamy indie-pop, but always poetic, seemingly effortless, and marked with that signature Dutch wit and brutal honesty. Now calling Austin home, Judy Blank performed this past Friday at ACL Fest, and she stopped by our tent backstage to perform her no-delusions, not-so-love song “Toy Heart” from her new album Big Mood.

We highly recommend listening to part one first before diving into this.
