Juniper Wolff Local Music Journalist As temperatures finally drop below triple digits, I can safely say that fall is here. Nothing beats the slightly cooler air, crunchy leaves on the ground, and overall calming environment of Texas autumn. For me, fall truly hasn’t taken effect until I’ve created a playlist to match the relaxing ambiance. “Fall Music” differs from person to person. In my opinion, the best fall music is […]

Lee McNally Local Music Journalist Narrow Head’s third studio album “Moments of Clarity” first released in February of 2023, has continued to remain vital to my music taste today, so much so that almost every track stays in my current rotation. An alt-rock band hailing from Dallas, Texas, Narrow Head has transcended multiple genres, from the dreamlike distortion of shoegaze to the angst of ‘90s grunge. Furthermore, frontman Jacob Duarte […]
Kathryn Akers Local Music Journalist In honor of the summer solstice, I’ve curated a summer playlist with the help of my coworkers, the lifeguards of Texas State Aquatics. I figured, who knows summer better than lifeguards? While compiling suggestions from my coworkers, I found it super intriguing how so many different genres of music reminded the lifeguards of summer. Not only that, but almost everyone agreed with the other lifeguards’ […]
Juniper Wolff Local Music Journalist Throughout history, women have continued to be outshone by their male counterparts, including in music. When people think of emo, they typically think of male-dominated bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, My Chemical Romance, and the recent rise of Modern Baseball and Mom Jeans. Although Women’s History Month has come to a close, women in emo deserve the spotlight to showcase their efforts. In an effort to ungatekeep, the following artists have smaller followings in hopes that their popularity will grow. Kaia […]

Abby McCabe Local Music Director At this year's SXSW, I had the opportunity to meet with the Brilliant Kety Fusco, an experimental Harpist from Italy who writes her own rules, and isn't afraid to introduce the instrument to spaces it typically doesn't belong. Kety's music invites listeners to abandon reason and immerse themselves in her world, where textures provide structural support, and the harp does all the talking. How would […]
Abby McCabe Local Music Director It’s been almost a year since I published my long-form interview with singer, composer, music nerd-extroidinaire, Matt Abajian (Which you can read here… it’s great), and almost a full year since I was introduced to the wonderful world of Hover, an Austin-based electronic neo-folk project led by Matt and friends. After being introduced to the avant-jam vehicle, I had no idea how long I’d spend […]
Abby McCabe Local Music Director If there’s one thing I love more than music that makes you move, it’s getting to know those who make it happen. Since the beginning of hatching my SXSW plan, I knew I had to experience this act live. I just had to. Not only was I attracted to the music, but the band's very essence captivated me. With a sound that sits so heavy […]
