Our obsession with Austin bands continues. It's a new week so, well, why not a new Austin band?
Borrowing the trademark looseness of Pavement with the vocal deliveries in the vein of Apples in Stereo, Austin's Peel seems to have something both new and energetic with enough nostalgic reference points to be charmingly familiar.
Last week Idolator described Peel's debut as "rambunctious and fun." which isn't even remotely off base given their loose, "fresh out of bed" guitars and throwback analog tones and somewhat psychedelic swirling synths.
Peel will play the Peek-A-Boo Records showcase at Blender Balcony on the first night of SxSW. Make sure to stop on by if you're in town.
