Graham Hill has long shown interest in the convergence of music and architecture, and his third album as Roman Ruins feels like a groundbreaking ceremony. On Isotropes, Hill is crafting songs that can be lived in. After nearly a decade since his last solo release - time that included touring and recording as the drummer for Beach House - Hill is building around melodies that embed themselves; crea...

"Can’t Pretend," the third single from Graham Hill’s upcoming album, Isotropes, is a somber duet with vocalist Maggie Koerner, whose resume includes The Revivalists and Galactic. The aching, shimmering ballad has a cinematic lilt, as two souls yearn for connection while pondering the world’s fate. “Should I say hello / or wave goodbye?” What begins as a simple question becomes a haunting refrain,...

Off of Workingman's Guma, the fourth in a line of Guma's genre-bending LPs and the first to be produced wholly in Austin. Taking up the long tradition of cosmic weirdos that have set up shop in central Texas, the LP flirts with country & western, Americana, folk, and drone music and features expert playing by members of White Denim, Shinyribs, and the Tender Things. Out on 10/20/23, available digi...

“Poor Wanda the hen / Not the first in line, but far from the end” — The third single from 2023’s Workingman’s Guma (released 10/20/23 on Gold Robot Records) lands among feathers and fur as songwriter T.J. Masters lovingly weaves between the stories of two animal companions, each out for themselves but inseparably linked by his amateur husbandry. With a twinkle-eyed lyricism that suggests an alter...

GUMBO, the first single from Jay Stone’s forthcoming sophomore album, is about the multitude of ways we feed ourselves. It speaks to ingredients that make us who we are. What are you made of? Strength and grace, confidence and humility. Gumbo is made of love and gratitude; even those things that we are reluctant to swallow, like pride - and okra! https://soundcloud.com/enotsyaj

Lashes to Lashes, the follow-up to 2019's A Level Lower, continues to carve out a unique space that explores imagination, power, and the natural world. The Texas native's early contact with music came from Eastern chanting groups she attended with her parents, studies in classical piano, and living in an ashram in India for her kindergarten years. After studying ballet and classical piano in Austi...

Interstate Highway 10 is the southernmost cross-country highway in the United States and runs in nearly a straight line for a mind-numbing 2,460.34 miles. Anyone who has traveled on this road can attest to a strange, almost perverse sense of despair and disease that seems to slowly drape itself over one’s vehicle after a couple of hours. It’s with this in mind that Guma presents “Highway 10 Blues,...

Hot on the heels of this year’s jazz-rock odyssey A List of Sightings, Guma returns with another stylistic left turn. First single “Driving the Highways of Texas” pulls liberally from the classic outlaw country handbook, featuring pedal steel guitar, honky tonk piano, and a quasi-mariachi string quartet in a song about the perilous pavement that criss-crosses the Lone Star State. At the center of...

Dan Casey picks up the guitar again 10 years after Empty City with an up-tempo garage rock song with a blasting drum rhythm and cascading guitars.
