Mae Powell: “Contact High” Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Bay Area singer-songwriter Mae Powell‘s debut album on Karma Chief Records, Making Room for the Light, serves up a West-coast brand of vintage, pastel-colored, jazz-meets-indie-pop beauty akin to Atlanta’s Faye Webster. Her latest single “Contact High” has origins in conversations with Powell’s elderly neighbor about a song with the spirit of being high socially, but not outrightly about weed.

You’ve got it all here: raw vocals that go from lilt to loaded, powerful guitar riffs, and lots of fun tempo changes to…

Allyse: “Lesson” Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

Austin’s Allyse crafts R&B-infused pop charms to pair with her sometimes self-empowered and sometimes vulnerable songwriting. The military brat fuses all of the cultural touchstones experienced throughout her childhood, her most sensitive song to date. “Lesson” is about just that, specifically lessons around relationships. How to not hurt others, how to be strong when you’re hurt…

Hide and Shine: “Can’t Wait to Catch Fire” Jul 30, 2025

Show notes

If you were going to try to stuff the new album from New York trio Hide and Shine into a box, it could only be a bento. The different sonic compartments, ranging from sunny indie rock to fuzzy post-punk to more meditative, goth-tinged post-punk, with the themes of metamorphosis and humbled ego pulling the meal together, under the careful mixing of Faith No More producer Matt Wallace.

LYNN: “Slow Dreamz” Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

Kileen-based rapper LYNN has bars for days and enough butter in her emotive, croony tunes to get Kerbey Lane through an Easter weekend brunch shift. By the time her debut EP Middle of Madness came out last year, she’d already added opening slots for CupcakKe and Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul, and the album landed her an official artist spot during SXSW in 2024. Her latest single “Slow Dreamz” is…

Dorio: “Plastic Heart” [Live In Studio 1A] Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio, the duo of Chad Doriocourt and Rachel Rascoe, that’s just sweet, sticky, and timeless. It simultaneously takes me to a certain sunny side of the 90’s; my old, cozy, West Campus apartment; and some of the best new music I’ve been listening to all year. It’s also something none of around here can stop listening to. The soft…

Andrew Vineski: “Today” Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

Austin pianist Andrew Vineski is the embodiment of modern vintage and self-confidence. Many artists these days will tell you their sound is inspired by a bunch of obscure musicians, or that they’re modernizing an existing sound. But I like a good subversion, and in the current state of new music, owning a love for the classics is a breath of fresh air. Vineski revels in the sounds of the…
