ACL 2022: Mama Duke

Saturday at noon.  Third option at this time.  It's the moniker of Austin-based Kori Roy. KUTX has more on her.  She was a Statesman artist of the month.  Here's their article on her.

Hip-hop. 


ACL 2022: Katzù Oso

 Saturday at noon.  This is a good summary:

Katzù Oso is a Latino solo artist based out of Los Angeles, CA. The moniker of Paul Hernandez, Katzù Oso combines upbeat, dancey production with dreamy vocals. Taking inspiration from artists like HOMESHAKE, Tame Impala and more, Hernandez sought to combine a dreamy synth-drenched sound with influences from growing up east of Los Angeles, CA – the sounds of growing up east of a major metropolitan city, of being young and brown in America.

"Thinking Too Much" is nice.  "Amor Extraño" is a good song for a Saturday morning.  

Mellow bedroom pop.

ACL 2022: spill tab

 Saturday at noon.  5 choices on at this time. First up is best summed up by this article:

As ethereal as it is gritty, and as lighthearted as it is deep to the core, spill tab has landed, serving up multi-genre bedroom beats. The moniker of Claire Chicha, spill tab is a French Korean American singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, now pouring distinctive, duality-drenched tracks with producer David Marinelli straight out of LA. 

In the interview she explains how she got the name:

The first summer marinelli and I started hanging out and making music, we were also going to a shit ton of shows in LA and subsequently drinking so much alcohol. One of his friends was a bartender and explained how a spill tab is a bar tab designated for spilled drinks but mostly for giving free drinks to friends and I found that so freaking cute. 

"Grade A" sounds like a lot of songs.  It's got that Max Frost/Mobley/Portugal the Man beat going.

This reminds me of Billie Eilish. It rocks at the end.

 

ACL 2022: SZA

 Friday at 8pm.  Yes, I'm out of it. Solána Imani Rowe aka SZA is huge. Her songs were all over the "Insecure" soundtrack.  "Quicksand" is one example.

We can check her out after watching The Chicks.  


ACL 2022: Omar Apollo

Friday at 7pm.  The 6pm slot has Nathaniel Rateliff and James Blake along with a techno band Big Gigantic.  Billy Strings and Carly Rae Jepsen are also on in this slot.  

I'm not sure how this is worthy of the 7pm slot.  He's ok.  R&B/Hip-hop/ballads/latin music. Kind of all over the place.  

This was one of the better songs I heard.
