Just Like Old Times

The Black and White Years - Just Like Old Times

When Scott Butler married Adrienne, he knew he struck gold, but as the lead singer of an Austin indie rock band, he had no idea that the woman had golden pipes. By chance he asked her to sing on a demo and the whole band was blown away. Here, the resulting magic.

Look for the new album later this spring on Modern Outsider Records. They play SXSW this year at their label showcase at Maggie Mae’s on Wednesday, March 13. Album details soon.

Soft Swells – “Every Little Thing”

The allusion to small waves breaking on the shore expressed in the band name Soft Swells doubles as a descriptor to their sound. The California duo play breezy indie pop that sounds like a lazy summer day, almost like a pop song slowed down and translated to acoustic guitar. Two guys with their six strings would normally be relegated to the coffee bar circuit, but Soft Swells breaks the mold by adding interesting instrumentation and melodies to their already solid pop base. Add on some solid harmonies and the final product has a ton of potential as shown on early single “Every Little Thing”. Be on the lookout for Soft Swells’ debut LP early next year and a potential breakout at this year’s SXSW.

I saw Bad Veins tonight at The Echo. There is something to be said about seeing a band that means a lot to you in a small, somewhat full room of people where that cannot be said of everyone else.

This was my third time seeing them, and each time I have, I wonder why they haven’t blown up yet. They (and their eponymous debut LP) are dangerously underrated, or at least undermentioned. The guys played 3-4 new songs tonight, and there wasn’t a dud amongst them. I’m looking forward to their next full length, and hope they stick with it for a long time to come.
