Culture Wars, the Austin based rock trio featuring Alex Dugan, Mic Vredenburgh, and David Grayson recently released their single “Let Me Down” this Friday and we are in love! The track is filled with energetic melodies and guitar riffs to compete with Dugan’s silvery voice and the lively percussion from Vredenburgh and Grayson.

Today, on April 18th, local Austin pop artist SOBBRS released his music video for “Monsoon,” which features a buoyant, electronically lush beat amplified by singer/songwriter Jesus Acosta’s vulnerable vocals. Modernly poetic, the fresh, minimalist track is pop recontextualized. Color, movement, and light define videographer Mitchell Allison’s conceptualization of SOBBR’s new single. Following the ambiance of the song, Allison creates a minimalistic yet mind-bending video that has the vibe of a small art gallery mixed media presentation. The beginning of the video presents a neutral, muted setting of a few vases filled with water and fragmented images of a woman. Lyrics are thrown up on the screen in haphazard patterns, and shots of flesh, glass and water create a sensual surreal mood. About halfway through the song as the music builds, the color shifts from off-white to red, highlighting the visceral tones in “Monsoon” by elevating the intensity. |
