L.A. natives, Local Natives, is set to release their sophomore album, Hummingbird, on January 29 of next year through Frenchkiss/Infectious Music. They released their first single “Breakers” about a month ago along with a set of tour dates to compliment their new album, which doesn’t include Texas. Its been over 2 years since the release of their highly acclaimed […]
Hot off the release of their follow-up to 2010’s The Waves, New Zealand born San Francisco based sky-gaze (yup, we’re going there) impresario Tamaryn will be gracing the Fitzgerald’s stage with songs from her new release Tender New Signs, which has more going for it than most albums released under any “INSERT HERE-gaze” genre. Tamaryn’s […]
Houston’s The Manichean have always made it a point to bring theater into their work. Whether through their prosaic lyrics, their use of musique concrete elements (i.e using a typewriter as an instrument), or even choice of venue, The Manichean’s music serves not as pop songs but a soundtrack to real human drama, which they […]
Glass The Sky is a band with a large pallet. The band’s sound delves in atmospheric soundscapes formed by sonically adventurous dual guitars and lush key work, yet is grounded with a more progressive rhythm section. It’d be easy to categorize the sound as “post-rock” if not for the band’s clever use of clarinet, vocal […]

With this record, people who like us will immediately connect with something. Based on the very, very few people who’ve heard stuff— some engineers, the band, and that’s about it— some people think it’s stranger than Loveless. I don’t. I feel like it really frees us up, and in the bigger picture it’s 100 percent […]
L.A R&B starlet Ramona Gonzalez a.k.a Nite Jewel is playing tonight (11/5) at Boondocks (I know, that’s what we thought too) thanks to the good folks over at Lunaface. Early in the year, they brought Nite Jewel collaborator-turned-friend/funk counterpart Dam Funk, putting tonight’s show in a series of what we can only describe as Lunaface’s […]
Named one of the best shows to catch this week by Houston Press music guru Chris Gray, the enigmatic Deerhoof is playing tonight (11/5) at Walters, and they’re fresh with new material. Don’t let its misleading title fool you. Breakup Song is a powerhouse of energy, blending idiosyncratically noisy guitar and synth and a punchy yet […]
Check out Doughbeezy, among others this Friday at Lynn Eusan Park
2012 had some great summer jams (admit it, you learned every word to “Call Me Maybe”), but few were as engrossing and straight-up gorgeous as DIANA’s “Born Again.” Like M83’s “Midnight City,” it was a song that romanticized late night adventures and elevated pop music (not just indie) into something almost religious. If you […]

It’s a costume contest, a CD release, and a rad concert all in one night. And the best part? IT’S FREE!
American composer Philip Glass will be performing a new composition commissioned by The Menil Collection as part of the celebration of its 25th anniversary. The piece is the 17th of a 20 part series of solo piano compositions entitled Etudes Vol. 2, a continuation of Etudes which Glass began composing in the 1990s. Philip Glass’ work […]
Nearly four years after the stellar (and grossly underrated) Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dream, Solange is back with a new song titled “Losing You.” The Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid-produced track beautifully links a chaotic mix of samples and handclaps to Solange’s airy and bittersweet voice. While her previous album did perhaps delve too […]
“As the tropical drums kick in, an evil presence (almost demonic) enters the club, unleashing a round of gunfire that leaves no survivors. There’s even a line which declares “sus cuerpos no saldrán en tele nacional, a nadie le importa, ganamos el mundial.” Unsettling, sure. But it definitely exposes the realities (and priorities) of the […]
