Gothic Tropic is the creation of Cecilia Della Peruti. The multi-instrumentalist that has created a lush 70’s inspired soundscapes that focus on her effortless guitar skills and dreamy voice. Her debut album Fast of Feast is the perfect example of how she blends pop and psychedelic. We caught up with her right after an electrifying set during SXSW.
Yoke Lore Is The Dreamy Music You Need
Yoke Lore is the brainchild of Adrian Galvin. The vibe is dreamy soundscapes, with driving drums and a touch of a banjo. We caught up with Adrian after a slew of shows during SXSW.
Catching Up With SUR at SXSW
SUR, the brainchild of Zack Arnett, has been taking over the music scene, we talked to him last year but the turnout for his SXSW shows was incredible. We caught up with him at the Whole Foods SXSW invasion.
FF5 Is Bringing The Energy Back To Live Shows
FF5 was performing at the Nashville House during SXSW and it was early, I mean it was probably like 1 p.m. but very early for me. As soon as they hit the stage it felt like a party. There was choreography and nonstop dancing.
The CLOVES Album Will Be Worth The Wait
CLOVES has one of the most haunting voices I have ever heard in my life. In 2015 she released the dramatic song “Don’t Forget About Me,” and since then I’ve had a serious addiction. The way her songs build, the emotion behind her voice, they stick with you.
Findlay Is The Femme Rockstar You Need In Your Life
I’ve looped “Electric Bones” on my phone for what seems like my entire life at this point. Also, if you know me and you know this video you’ll recognize that Findlay is literally THE girl for white power suit inspiration. Natalie Findlay has toured with Iggy Pop, Karen Elson, and Brandon Flowers. She was also personally asked by Mick Jagger to play the Serpentine party in London. I just have such a soft spot for badass rockstar women. Her sound is a little rock, a little pop, a little garage and a little blues, but she’s ballsy af and cooler than I’ll ever be.
My 2018 SXSW Diary
SXSW is hell week, but in a good way. This year I was planning a day party (girls to the front) as well as doing press which means a ton of interviews every day and getting videos and live-tweeting. I drink 5 hour energies nonstop and think all together I ate 3 slices of pizza for the 7 days total and I walked more than I’ve ever walked. It’s exhausting but so rewarding.
Mosie’s Tasty Tangerine
Mosie’s debut album Tangerine dropped during SXSW and the duo’s future funk jams are delightfully easy to move to with the combination of synthy vocals and energizing samples. Singer/songwriter Jesse LeVines and musician/producer Aidan Brody have created wicked musical hooks with surprisingly intimate lyrics that is sure to catch attention, even from those who aren’t in the electronic scene. Throughout the album there major switches between tempos that tosses you from one beat to the next without becoming tiresome. However, the standout feature is the way Mosie layers the human voice with a variety of melodic effects.
SXSW 2018 Guide
Hellooooooo spreadsheets. So here’s our spreadsheet, Sorry it’s incredibly confusing. Since we’re throwing a day party this year (RSVP and hang out with us if you haven’t) our schedule is a little different. Now, as far as SXSW goes, as a local, I know my maps, but I always back a strong backpack filled with phone chargers and 5 hour energy.
You Need To See A Mobley Show Now
It’s hard for me to describe a Mobley show, you really have to be there. He’s a one-man act, during the show he plays the guitar, the drums, literally everything, and he does it without missing a beat. This isn’t even the thing that impresses me the most, the production and the music both are astounding. His songs will be stuck in your head for days on end. I mean it when I say he’s the next big thing, not only in Austin, this is national.
