Night Beds : Tide Teeth (2015)

-          2nd recent single that continues their now more electronic approach.

-          'Me, Liquor and God', was released in Dec '14.

-          Beautiful debut LP was 2013's Country Sleep. Also one EP.

-          One of the danciest tracks the band has released.

-          Led by Winston Yellen.

Official Site

Sufjan Stevens : Exploding Whale : Epic Fail 7" (2015)

-          Latest single released close enough to include it as a Record Store Day surprise.

-          Just released his 6th album, Carrie and Lowell.

-          It is widely regarded as his and the year's best so far.

-          One of the most talented musicians that I've been able to enjoy every step of the way.

-          This first teaser sounds like a hope-elevating return to his early stripped back folk days.

The Black Angels : Black Grease : Passover (2006)

-          First full length album

-          Formed in 2004 in Austin, TX

-          Interesting feel to it… similar to some of the Black Keys more eerie songs

-          Debut Self Titled EP was released in 2005. 2nd full length out in 2008

-          Austin-based band that has been a staple at SXSW.

Official Site

Thee Oh Sees : Web : Mutilator Defeated At Last (2015)

-          1st single from  forthcoming LP

-          Prolific San Fran garage psych from John Dwyer.

-          Their last 2 LPs, Floating Coffin and Drop, were two of the best of the past 2 years.

-          One my most highly anticipated SXSW 2015 bands.

Father John Misty : I Love You, Honeybear : I Love You, Honeybear (2015)

-          J Tillman's 2nd album under this alias.

-          Former member of the Fleet Foxes who hasn’t really put out any solo work that's impressed me until his Father John Misty work.

-          Big Jason Molina feeling to the slower tracks on this album.

Official Site

Ben Kweller : Falling : Sha Sha (2002)

-          Debut album.

-          Indie pop/rock singer songwriter that's been making extremely consistent, not overly ground breaking records since the debut.

-          6th full length, Go Fly A Kite, was an unexpected treat in 2012.

-          SXSW 2015

-       Project led by Mike Hadreas.

Facebook

Cold Specks : Absisto : Neuroplasticity (2014)

-          Powerful, fuller track from one of the best vocalists in all of music.

James Vincent McMorrow : Cavalier : Post Tropical (2014)

-          2^nd LP. One EP as well.

-          More R&B infused album than his previous work.

-          Slightly mellower style of folk that Bon Iver, but definitely some crossover.

Official Site

Wet : Dreams : Wet EP (2013)

-          Debut EP.

-          Falls somewhere between Fiona Apple’s latest release and the XX.
