pulseCoder Returns With ‘Wicked Transmission’ [inc. video for ‘Hypermuck’]
Austin based experimental producer and sound artist Kyle Evans aka pulseCoder returns with the heightened drama of new single ‘Wicked Transmission’, his first stand alone release since 2017.

RECORD REVIEW: JASON JAMES (USA) – SEEMS LIKE TEARS AGO
“I had people who were wanting me to get rid of the [pedal] steel, get rid of the fiddle. My feeling is, ‘Screw it, I’m just gonna do what I want to.’ It’s being honest to yourself. It’s a feeling that I get when I play these songs — there’s an honesty that’s conveyed. Some […]

LOU REBECCA BREAKS IT APART WITH FIRST TASTE FROM DEBUT LP OUT LATER THIS YEAR
Last week Austin based Parisian artist Lou Rebecca released ‘Break It Apart’, the first single from her forthcoming debut album Restless, due later this year.

GRIVO SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR ELUDE OPENER, “H.D.C.”
Austin based trio Grivo released their excellent debut album Elude last Friday and today sees them share a brand new video for weighty album opener, ‘H.D.C.’ As sprawlingly widescreen visually as it is musically, the video aligns with track’s sonic trajectory, metaphorically representative of the disorienting disconnect and crushing loss that occurs when a significant […]
