Following the likes of Transmission Events (FunFunFun Fest), Pegstar.Net (Free Press Summerfest), and 35 Denton (Hot Wet Mess, 35 Denton Fest), Dallas’ Spune has given Texas another new independent music festival, and the concept is simple. “The new festival concept aims to showcase the best of what’s next in indie music (indie next = ind […]
There are few people who can absolutely trance you with their talented performance. I’m not sure if I would call Dan Deacon one of those people. Dan’s absurdist performances have frightened many morning show talk hosts and probably his parents. Sometimes it’s hard for people to respect Deacon as a serious musician, but he has […]
Earlier this year we reported on the minute teaser video for “Lonerism.” Since then, Kevin Parker and his band of aussie-psych brothers have kept busy, working the new material on the summer festival circuit, producing the new Melody’s Echo Chamber album, and releasing a analog-synthesized kaleidoscope of a music video for “Elephant.” This has […]
Former Makeout Videotape frontman Mac DeMarco first broke out in April with Rock And Roll Nightclub which was accompanied by a slew of off-the-wall iMovie promos and music videos. Being virtually a new face outside of Montreal, music bloggers all around looking to identify DeMarco’s sound, which he himself describes as “jizz jazz”, often referred […]
Here is the latest video from indie heavyweights Dinosaur Jr., showcasing not only the single off of their newest album, “I Bet on Sky”, but also the acting prowess of comedian Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric fame.

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 […]
