Sweet Spirit’s “The Power” by Trish Connelly
Photography by David Brendan Hall Amidst the saturation of bands and fledgling acts cropping up in Austin, Texas, it’s not often that a group seizes the spotlight and successfully continues to hone in on a committed and growing audience. Initially formed as a solo project, vocalist Sabrina Ellis (A Giant Dog, Glad Girls) started Sweet Spirit as a means to expand her singer-songwriter and guitar playing skills. Distinctive from her previous projects, Sweet Spirit’s sounds struck gold with melodious country and pop jams, gaining the attention of Spoon’s Britt Daniels. Following a secret Spoon tour kickoff show at Hotel Vegas and a stretch of dates across the mid-west and…

New Music: Ride’s “Charm Assault” by Jason Lamoreaux
In the last five or so years, something wonderful has happened. Bands from many people’s youths have appeared on the scene, whole, intact, and emerging to crowds of fans who have waited their whole lives just to see them play one more time or for the first time ever. My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Lush, and others have emerged from the fog of yesteryear to play live and give us all new music. Today, Ride did just that. For the first time in twenty years, Ride has blessed the music world with something new. “Charm Assault” is the first new single from Ride’s forthcoming full-length and the band does not…

Photography: Jon Chamberlain: Representing the Void
Jon Chamberlain: Representing the Void By Jay Armstrong “Capturing people when they let their guard down is what makes a portrait special to me.” – Jon Chamberlain While the art is familiarized and internally grasped by so many, photographers find themselves shadowed by our swipe-swipe-swipe indulgences in this digital age, no longer do we see the collective work to hear their whispered hearts spoken through the capturing lens. The power of the photograph tainted through cross-format compression only furthers the damage done by our priority of being pacified– laziness leading down the path of least resistance where the importance of being entertained dulls us all the more. Choosing to be…
New Music Video: Sun Abduction – “Acid Pyramid”
Facebook || Twitter || Instagram A gracious addition to the psychedelic rock scene, Brooklyn-based quartet Sun Abduction are bound for a west coast tour in anticipation of their recently released singles, “Acid Pyramid / Pale Rider”, as well as prepping for their upcoming debut LP. Directed by Robert Hickerman, their music video for “Acid Pyramid” offers a glimpse of the track’s foreboding doom through a bystander’s view of far-off window panes and the quick flickering of neon-hued lighting within the mysterious room. Without pause, the track pulsates with visions of agitated and idly pacing blood-soaked Converse sneakers amidst a kaleidoscopic wash of reds and oranges, shifting between hazy lo-fi…

Music Video Premiere: Sundae Crush – “Dating Game 3000”
Facebook || Twitter || Instagram Sundae Crush – “Dating Game 300” by Trish Connelly If you’re not one to take the hyped-up consumerist holiday too seriously, Sundae Crush have just the gift in store for you this Valentine’s Day. Premiering their glitter-filled hyper-pasteled music video for “Dating Game 3000”, the band delights in creating a futuristic game show competition straight out of your most vibrant and nostalgic childhood Lisa Frank dreams. Comprised of Izzi Vasquez on the drums, Jesse Botello on bass, Alex Naughton strumming guitar and Jena Pyle as vocalist (as well as playing gameshow host), Sundae Crush’s video is playful yet smart, taking the generic notions of TV…
Photography: Angel Olsen at The Mohawk
Photography by Ismael Quintanilla III This past Tuesday we managed to pull some strings in order to see the (second) sold out Angel Olsen show at the Mohawk in Austin, Texas. Everybody’s been gushing about her latest album, My Woman, as well as her live performances. So naturally we had to see what all of the buzz was about. What we experienced was honestly something like no other – a truly impeccable live performance.. Her voice was like the lovechild of Gwen Stefani and Loretta Lynn, a sweet mixture you never really thought you needed until now. She brings a bit of grungy lo-fi with tasty twang to her songs, creating…

Artists On Our Radar: Joe Gallagher
Artist: Joe Gallagher Originally from Tacoma, Washington, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Joe Gallagher’s perspective on the shift from the pace of living from the West coast to the East coast is depicted in his vibrant and colorful paintings. Containing disproportionate and excessive features, Gallagher’s contemporary style of overlapping characters represents individuals who live and thrive together despite their differing backgrounds. Each face and feature remains distinct and unique, and although some characters may seem to fade in the background while others jump to our attention, they are all universally interconnected and affect the direction that our lives will inevitably take. Gallagher draws inspiration from dream interpretation…
Olden Yolk’s “Beige Flowers” to Benefit Bring Change 2 Mind
Olden Yolk by Trish Connelly Certain phrases and seemingly fleeting physical affections can in turn strike a chord and stay with you for the rest of eternity. “Shane, I want you to be there when I die“, Butler’s mother said to him with a firm grip of his hand before packing her bags to move from New York to California. This in turn inspired him to write “Beige Flowers” as a means of processing her words and gesture, a lyrical foreshadowing to her battle with mental illness and eventually taking her own life. Going under the moniker Olden Yolk, Butler’s first release is an honest and beautifully poignant piece…

Live Review: Cold Cave and Drab Majesty at Barracuda
Photography: Raphael Umscheid Words: Trish Connelly February 3rd marked a highly anticipated end to the work week with Drab Majesty and Cold Cave’s joint sold out show at Barracuda. Owing greater familiarity to Drab Majesty after several attendances at his previous Austin shows at Cheer Up Charlies (as well as his most recent album, The Demonstration, in heavy rotation these last couple weeks), Cold Cave struck unfamiliar personal territory that I reveled in exploring leading up to the show. Arriving in time to stake out a good spot near the front of the downtown venue with Drab Majesty’s statues of lions and Apollo already propped onstage, the duo came…
