SXSW Song of the Day: 7ebra – I Have A Lot To Say

Posted on January 16, 2023 by Paul in Song of the Day, South By Southwest | Leave a comment

7ebra is a Malmö-based duo made up of Inez and Ella, twin sisters who together craft some catchy, keyboard-heavy indie rock tunes. Their upcoming debut album was produced by Tore Johansson, best known for all his work with The Cardigans and Franz Ferdinand, and based on the strength of single “I Have A Lot To Say”, I’m looking forward to hearing the whole album once it’s out.

I’m also looking forward to seeing the band live at SXSW, in part so I can find out how they pronounce their name. Is it Zebra? Debra? Sevenebra? Only time will tell.

SXSW Song of the Day: Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country – People Are Beautiful

I like both kinds of music – country and space rock.

I know that’s not the way the saying usually goes, but in the case of Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, it seems a bit more of an appropriate statement.

On “People Are Beautiful”, the San Antonio-based Capps infuses his alt-country sounds with a solid dose of Hawkwind-esque groove and it works perfectly, thus proving that Austin isn’t the only city in Texas with an interest in keeping things weird.

SXSW 2023 will soon be upon us. Which means that come March, people from all over will once again be descending upon Austin for a week or so, with showcasing acts coming from as far afield as Lahore, Syndey, Seoul and, well, yes, Toronto.

However, while Southby is a great opportunity to check out international acts who might not otherwise make their way to North America, when in Austin, it’s also a good idea to check out some locals. And so today, we shine the spotlight on an Austin act – Letting Up Despite Great Faults. Check out “She Spins”, an upbeat, jangly, shoegazey number off of the band’s latest album, IV.

Amongst the big Britpop-related stories of late is the news that Blur would be reuniting for a few shows next year, including a pair of just announced dates in Barcelona and Madrid for Primavera Sound.

But that’s not the only Blur-adjacent project in the news. Also of note is The Waeve, a collaboration between Rose Elinor Dougall and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, who will be releasing their self-titled debut album on February 3 of next year.

“Kill Me Again” is the latest single to be released from the upcoming album. Check it out below.
