Quickdraw: Hinds, Tycho, The Men, Snarls, Hazel English

Enjoy.

Hinds – Good Bad Times

I was caught off guard by the shift in sound here (garage rock to pop), but I like it.  Feels like summer.  Hinds will release The Prettiest Curse on April 3.  Be sure to catch them at Antone’s on June 9.

Tycho – Outer Sunset

Instrumental Tycho is my favorite Tycho.  The new album is a companion piece to last year’s Weather and is titled Simulcast (due out on February 28).  The act will play Stubb’s on May 18.

The Men – Breeze

I never know what to expect from The Men, and I like that.  This particular track is off their new album, Mercy (due out February 14), and it rips.

Snarls – Marbles

Snarls just announced their debut LP – it’s called Burst and will be out on March 6.  This song is just good, straight-forward indie rock with a nice hook.  Into it.

Hazel English – Off My Mind

I’ve been on the Hazel English bandwagon a good while, so I’m very excited for her debut full length, Wake Up!.  The latest single is a dreamy pop gem.  Here’s hoping she comes to Austin soon.
