Kenneth Frost has proven to be a hometown prolific mastermind. Since performing as a part of Grandmaster, Sexpop, and his brainchild band, The Cuckoos, it’s mind-boggling to wonder how the Austin musician manages his time. On new track “Dirty Pictures,” Frost shows that his musical staying power is here to stay in the Austin scene. The band’s sound takes an eclectic route, showing touches of funk, soul, psychedelic rock, and the roots of classic rock.

Texas band Daiistar is back in full psychedelic force. On new track “Star Starter,” the Austin act wastes little time in getting down to potent, psychoactive business. The reverb-drenched production makes for a vision quest-type listen, allowing the listener to sit back and bask in the production magic of Alex Maas, frontman of Austin Neo-Psych legends, The Black Angels.
