Quentin: [Live At Scholz Garten]

Another SXSW, another rousing success at Scholz Garten. And all this week, we’re sharing some of our favorite performances with free downloads just for you!

Austin’s Quentin is as much of a visual artist as they are a performer. And we experienced that in a big way on Thursday. I was in the booth at the station making some behind-the-scenes magic happen, and I had this set TURNED UP Spinal Tap style. Powerful, evocative, and anthemic as hell, this performance was a formidable way to kick off our three-day stint down at Scholz Garten.

Quentin: “Hello Denial”

Austin’s Quentin is as much of a visual artist as they are a performer. Ahead of the release of their upcoming album TOMGIRL, Quentin has released the music video for the gut-spilling “Hello Denial,” an anthemic art pop tune, smooth, groovy, and a little sultry before being punctuated with slightly fuzzed-out guitar chords, fueled by an electrically charged night that sent Quentin straight to their collaborator kinderr’s studio. As Quentin puts it, “sometimes when people aren’t honest about their sexual identity, they end up hurting people along the way.” The stunning video is another celebration of Quentin’s MO: creating spaces where power, identity, and honesty coexist with vigor.

TOMGIRL is out this spring.
