One other big source of new music for me last year was NPR Music’s The Austin 100 (2016), which was a free download of over 100 songs. Here’s a selection of them
1. Ugly Cherries – PWR BTTM
2. Every Which-A-Way – The Quebe Sisters
3. Drinkee – Sofi Tukker
4. Somebody To Anybody – Margaret Glaspy
5. Oh Inhuman Spectacle – Methyle Ethel
6. Black Lipstick – Chicano Batman
7. Primitives – Bayonne
8. Before A Million Universes – Big Ups
9. Lost Time – Tacocat
10. There Will Be Nights When I’m Lonely – Possessed By Paul James
Out of the whole group, the only artists I’ve heard of before now are the first two on this list, one for bad reasons and one for good. I picked the other eight for this list because I liked their names. How many do you know?
