I Saw Dodie Live and All I Got Was This Lousy Emotional Turmoil: Live at Emo’s Austin

By Avery Viers Local Music Journalist This one’s for the niche group of Lizzy McAlpine enthusiasts as I write my second article (back to back, no less) that she’s made an appearance in; you are seen, you are not alone. With that being said, I had the awesome opportunity to cover Dodie’s Build A Problem Tour on March 10th, and it’s probably all I will be talking about for the […]

Bleachers: Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night Album Review

An image of the album cover design for Butterfly 3001. A thin yellow rectangle in the top-right corner shows the album name with a yellow butterfly beneath it. On the right side of the rectangle are the band’s initials, “KGLW,” and beneath that is a serial code, “KGLW-014-2LP.” A white circle is in the center of the image where the label would go on the center of a vinyl LP. The bottom half of the label is cyan, and within it reads “King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.” The top half has a red semicircle with the album title on it. On the left and right sides of the circular label are a red and cyan butterfly respectively, each within a small yellow circle. Beneath the red butterfly is the serial number again, and beneath the cyan butterfly is text which reads “Side A.” The rest of the album cover displays a field of white and a flurry of red, yellow, and dark blue butterflies all flying towards the top left corner of the cover.

Beach House: Once Twice Melody Album Review

By Clara Blankenship Music Journalist I am always torn on what to listen to on a long drive. A playlist, maybe? An album? On a recent drive home, I decided to shuffle the New Releases playlist on Spotify, hoping to find some fresh music. A new Beach House album began playing, and I was immediately taken on a wonderful musical journey that, thankfully, livened up the usually dull drive on […]

In front to the left sits a man with a beard and his hands in his lap, Sean Yeaton, staring off into the distance. On the right and in the front stands a man with curly hair, Max Savage, also with his hand in his pocket, staring at the camera. In between them all sitting on the ground in overalls covered in paint sits Andrew Savage, who stares far into the distance. There is a green, yellow, and brown tapestry on the ground spattered with paint and covering furniture and a yellow curtain in the background.

Why I Hate Albums

By Christian Villarreal Music Journalist When a band or artist has a lot of songs across multiple albums, I get disheartened. I enjoy discovering a new artist that has a good supply of music that can offer a diverse palette of tone, but it seldom works out that way. More specifically, I have grown to hate albums. Saying this seems strange, but the more music I listen to, the more […]
