Austin isn’t what it used to be either. The Americana quintet around the singer-songwriters Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist still uses the motto “I Got The Time” (but not the dollars) on their ninth album. But in your own studio (including three microphones from Freddie Mercury’s estate), time isn’t necessarily money.

A sound that combines West Coast lightness, Texas earthiness and a lot of Southern flair

The band hasn’t forgotten how to write songs with their covers-only “Remote Transmissions” during the pandemic, even if the subject matter is often sub-complex (“Simple Things”, “The Good Doctor”). It’s easy to ignore this in view of a sound that combines West Coast lightness, Texas earthiness and a lot of Southern flair, oscillating between bite and bubble bath.
