French interview with electronic producer Leroy Bella aka Sines on his most recent EP and some of his musical influences. Here are a few translated parts: …The Money Girl EP was influenced by all the music I listened to in my childhood and adolescence. I lived near Houston for about 26 years, so I grew […]
After the success of Raven in the Grave, The Raveonettes are back, celebrating the release of their record Observator with a new video. “The Enemy,” just as the rest of Observator, has the Danish duo returning to form, coating new and and enticing guitar melodies with their signature fuzzed-out sound. Citing The Doors as a primary inspiration, The Raveonettes recorded […]
nprmusic: Grizzly Bear’s fourth album rewards listeners with strange surprises and a few hooky, expansive ringers. Along the way, it showcases the considerable gifts of four guys willing to hover patiently through the detours, without sacrificing the beauty that makes the journey worthwhile. Stream Shields now. No doubt this will be played on the station […]
Houston band, Grandfather Child recently held their CD Release party at Fitzgerald’s last weekend. The show was off. the. chain. While drummer Ryan Chavez was always hesitant to release a music video for fear that “those always suck.” He reconsidered after signing on board with directors Brett Whitcomb and Brad Thomason. The result? An awesome […]

Peelander-Z, Yukon Blondes, Bleached, Christian Bland and the Relevators, Tig Notaro Lucero, King Tuff, etc. Looking pretty fun now.
I’m normally not a fan of politics in music. Sure, music is a form of expression and can often times be used to rally people together, but for me, the complexities of a political issue go overlooked in a simple pop song and suddenly a cause you once stood for becomes a marketing campaign and […]
We’re having a party soon. You’re all invited.
https://soundcloud.com/reverberationappreciation/the-ufo-club-july Texas serves as a hub that covers a lot of music scenes and subcultures. Whether it be post-rock (EITS, This Will Destroy You), hip-hop (DJ Screw, Bun B, Pimp C, etc), or folk/americana/country (Willie Nelson, Robert Ellis, Hayes Carl, etc), Texas’ musical roots go pretty deep, but arguably not as deep as its roots […]
2012 may as well be called “The Year of the Segall,” which according to the prolific psych-garage aficionado’s calendar began in late April with Ty and White Fence’s Hair and experienced its summer solstice with Ty Segall Band’s Slaughterhouse. Ty Segall even stopped by Houston in late May and gave a legendary performance at Walter’s, and now […]
It’s strangely not surprising to see Houston favorites Buxton take on the challenge of performing as the Talking Heads. Known for their unique brand of sonically progressive folk/americana, Buxton also has a knack for reimagining classic numbers into their set, covering the likes of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Paul McCartney & Wings, and even […]

Wild Nothing just released a new song off their upcoming Nocturne. “Paradise,” much like the album’s first single “Shadow,” has Jack Tatum going out of his drippy power-pop shell created by 2010’s summer soundtrack Gemini. Turning to synthesizers for atmosphere and counter melody, the real driving force is the potent groove locked in between guitar and drums that […]

Josiah’s unique brand of glitchy beat-driven production in conjunction with his powerful vocal delivery, which at times can be […]
The fall semester is fast approaching. Maybe at this point you’re regretting having wasted the summer on Netflix instead of traveling and going on adventures. No worries. Music is another great way of exploring the world. Of course some music – like those generic compilations sold at Starbucks – tend to have the opposite […]
This will forever be on our summer playlist.
Brooklyn-based electronic producer Machinedrum will be coming to the Engine Room this Wednesday, August 1st. Being one half of the acclaimed bass duo Sepalcure and releasing his own excellent full-length Room(s) in 2011, Machinedrum has made a name for himself as one of the more exciting and interesting electronic producers in the last year […]
