The Importance of an Album Cover

Juniper Wolff Local Music Journalist We have all seen an album cover before. We have all seen the iconic The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd or Nevermind by Nirvana. Album cover art is often unappreciated. It adds a lot more depth and creativity to the album than you may think. The goal of an album cover is to provide and add on to the overarching theme or […]

Country Rap

Emma Paff Music Journalist Rap/Hip-hop The first exposure I had to country rap music was in 2018 when Lil Nas dropped “Old Town Road.” The song sparked the debate about what qualifies as “country music.” Despite the song's increasing popularity at the time, Billboard removed it from their Hot Country Songs chart for not having enough country elements. Even with all the resistance, country rap has been slowly making a […]

Kevin Abstract’s Blush And The Art Of The Album Rollout 

Jonathan Marin   Music Journalist   Who’s an artist or a group that you feel like changed the game? A musical act so innovative that nobody could ignore them. When BROCKHAMPTON burst onto the scene in the late 2010s, it felt like they were on this caliber of artist. There had been rap groups before, sure, but how many called themselves a boy band, actively pushed the limits of the genre, and […]

Cinema’s Soundtrack  

Clementine Lawless  Journalist  Ever since silent films, every film has had some sort of music present. Whether orchestral and classical, electronic, world music, jazz, etc., something would be played in hopes of invoking certain emotions from the audience or creating long-lasting memories. This is my mini analysis on how a director’s choice for music can really make or break their work.  Music in film can reveal so much by lyrics, […]

Generations of Music

Clementine Lawless Music Journalist Music can be a generational aspect for many people, even in ways that may not be the most obvious. Culture, formal education for music, modern media and technology influence, as well as even social to intergenerational connection are all key aspects that contribute to music being passed down. Whether you’re gaining a sudden interest in your cultural background, dedicating some of your life through formal training […]

Shalini Malik Music Journalist Dating in today’s generation, if you haven’t already heard, is… let’s stick with the word HORRIBLE. And with the rise of ultra-popular dating apps—Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Wizz, etc.—it’s not getting any easier and, in fact, is making the dating game a lot more complicated than it should be. Take it from me. I’ve gone on my fair share of Hinge and Tinder dates, and all I’m […]

Mazzy Star: Fading Into Psychedelia  

Aliya Sanchez  Music Journalist   When people think of psychedelic music they usually think of bands that emerged from the mid 1960’s such as The Beatles, The Doors, Grateful Dead known for their colorful visuals and experimental instrumentals that pushed boundaries within the 1960s. However, in the 1990s a new sound of psychedelic music had begun to take shape, a sound that was quieter and more melancholic with a softer and […]

The Hidden Genre Taking Over San Marcos 

Juniper Wolff Local Music Journalist Plenty of genres come to mind when thinking about the San Marcos music scene. Typically, an outside observer would assume San Marcos to be a massive hub for jazz, rock, country, and adjacent genres due to George Strait and Eddie Durham’s upbringing here. However, there is more than meets the eye in this small college town.  A complete contrast to the honky-tonk country led by […]
