There's no shortage of great music coming out of San Antonio these days, so we were thrilled when we realized that seven of our music writers' 10 favorite albums of the year were by Alamo City artists. From spacerock-infused country and spooky synthwave to shoegaze and jazzy sonic experiments, this town continues to produce amazing and diverse sounds. We'd sure love to see more of SA's homegrown acts hit the road and acquaint the rest of the world with their greatness.
Eerie melodies, tremolo-picked riffs and low throbs of bass guitar combine with infernal growls that seem to rise from the bowels of a darkened cave. Although this three-song LP lasts a mere 32 minutes, it packs so much variation on its dark theme that the listener never grows bored.
