Ian Sweet: Crush Crusher Album Review

By Hannah Wisterman Music Journalist Artist: Ian Sweet Album: Crush Crusher Release Date: October 26, 2018 Label: Hardly Art Website: https://www.iansweetmusic.com/ Jilian Medford, the quintessentially indie frontwoman behind Ian Sweet, is remarkably reminiscent of the grungey queens of the ‘90s. Her voice has the echoey, soft wisp of Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) and the upturned lilts of Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). Even her lo-fi sound feels just a little ‘90s, […]

Grapetooth: Grapetooth Album Review

By Tanner Meadows Music Journalist Artist: Grapetooth Album: Grapetooth Release Date: November 9th, 2018 Label: Polyvinyl Record Co. Website: https://grapetooth.com/ “Are you violent?” That’s the question to set the tone for the eponymously titled, debut release of the youthful, eclectic, and energetically passionate Grapetooth. Not so much provocation of aggression, the opening track, “Violent,” a bubbly, New Order-esque romp of synth and dance beats that gives the listener an overall […]

Indoor Creature: New Single and Interview

By Eric McKeefer Local Music Journalist A train whistle blows into the first seconds of Indoor Creature's new single, “Selfish Liars.” Like waking up on the wrong side of the bed, after you slept through your first class on a Monday. Slow, solemn and personal, it ends too soon. Emotionally engaging and these lyrics cycle over hot red-orange guitar chords while the crash accents with jade splashes on the one […]

Hippo Campus Show Review

By Clayton Chaney Local Music Director Nov. 9, 2018 will go down in history as one of the greatest new age indie rock shows of all time. The environment in downtown Austin at Stubbs was impeccable. It was a packed house, and the line to get in was wrapped around the block right up until the band took the stage. It was a slightly chilly night with some sprinkles but […]

Last Building Burning Album Review

By Tanner Meadows Music Journalist Artist: Cloud Nothings Album: Last Building Burning Release Date: October 19, 2018 Label: Carpark Records (US), Wichita Recordings (UK/Europe) Website: http://www.cloudnothings.com/ Evolving from compressed lo-fi garage rock and distantly electronic, through-the-phone vocals, Cloud Nothings’ most recent release, Last Building Building, is the group’s latest and greatest step toward a rawer, more vigorously unrefined sound. One could argue that isn’t saying much, considering the shortcomings of […]

By Samuel Cravey Music Journalist Artist: Exit Group Album: Adverse Habitat Release Date: October 12, 2018 Website: https://exitgroup.bandcamp.com/releases Adverse Habitat is the debut post-punk album of Berlin, Germany based band Exit Group.
