VACATION GOLD, December 1972 EP (Freeride): Former Space Truckers ditch the effects pedals (mostly) for forceful and fleet near-punk. Interesting dissection of the feminine psyche on “Magazine.”
YOUNGMOND GRAND, The Sculptures Fall EP: Strong debut from the heirs to Fivehead‘s ragged indie-rock throne. If you don’t recognize yourself or your friends in “Break Guitars,” you obviously don’t live in Austin.
