If Foreign Mothers’ home base was Brooklyn rather than Red River, you’d have already read about them in the (inter)national press. The Austin trio’s lock-down post-punk, all needling guitar and drummer R.L. Stina’s high-sticking, drops jaws. The ladies’ debut LP, Duh, records the effect in one title – no, not “Love Song for Bill Paxton,” but rather “I’m Sorry If I Just Blew Your Mind But, Please Clean Up the Mess.” Hidden Ritual, Daniel Francis Doyle, and Jungle Bodies bring mop and pail. – Raoul Hernandez
