PETER CASE TRAVERSES THE COUNTRY
PETER CASE, singer/songwriter/musician/author/troubadour, is taking his guitar and heading back to the road in support of his critically acclaimed, newly released HWY 62 on Omnivore Recordings.
Of the album, Uncut notes: “Road music deluxe: powerpop guru revisits the populist heart of American music…Acoustic 12-string, with subtle keyboard and slide-guitar textures, sets the backdrop. The songwriting, meanwhile, is uniformly devastating—poignant, perceptive, poetic. ‘New Mexico,’ conjuring the open road, and ‘The Long Good Time,’ a breathtakingly personal reminiscence, are stunning…and ‘Pelican Bay,’ aiming at the jugular of the US prison-industrial complex, are brilliantly barbed political narratives.”

TROLLER WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “NOT HERE” VIA FACT
Reemerging from a long and self-defining stint in the studio, Austin’s darkwave trio Troller returns with their pleasurably harsh second LP, Graphic. Despite the underground success of the critically acclaimed 2012 self-titled debut, Graphic manages to eclipse the broad appeal of the first record’s addictively ominous pop anthems. Troller’s focus on layered composition and biting sound design has resulted in a highly developed work that embodies the band’s unique raw form while raising the benchmark on fidelity and experimentation. Graphic arrives perfectly unhinged and hideously sophisticated, reinterpreting familiar elements from their debut LP, and propelling the trio’s provocative sensibilities explicitly further.
Drag queens and dominatrixes collide in Troller’s sadomasochistic ‘Not Here’

TRAE THE TRUTH “SPRAY”
“When it come to the streets, every n*gga gotta see me/ Everything I do a movie, shoulda been on TV,” Trae Tha Truth raps in the closing verse of “Spray.” With a melodic chorus that complements the mischievous production, Trae and his Assholes By Nature label mate Jay’Ton abide by the code of the streets while delivering doses of realism in the form of three verses, maneuvering from the stoop to the streets with his iced grill illuminating alleyways as smoke swirls around the Texas Rap God. “The video finds the Texas emcees adorned in all black as they melodically mourn for all those who would dare test them,” says Mass Appeal in their premiere post.
