Wieuca
Alternative
At its core, Wieuca is a fusion act. Having dabbled in aesthetics ranging from garage punk to triphop to folk, the group has always managed to bridge stylistic variations with a continuity in confessional lyrics, homespun recordings, and psychedelic sensory-overload. With a colorful visual identity to match, Wieuca’s focus has remained pointing out the beauty in the hideous and vice versa since its 2012 inception in Athens, GA. “Human Shield” highlights this seamless, if unexpected, fusion of sounds by enlisting Brooklyn rapper JAVAE to bring the vibe into a new hemisphere. There’s no reason why indie bands and rappers shouldn’t combine forces, but at least for now, this cut stands out as one of the very few examples.
Captain Kudzu
Rock
Captain Kudzu is the bizarre and amorphous creative output of Opelika, AL native Jackson Gafford, sometimes taking the form of a solo, loop based recording project, other times joined by the accompaniment of friends and members of Sun Eyes, Dogwood Lung, and Dommel Mosel. Almost psych-pop, almost shoegaze, almost post punk, almost electronic, Captain Kudzu is nothing in particular and everything you would want it to be, whilst still creating and existing within it's own unique world. Their debut album Arboretum is out now on Earth Libraries and available wherever music is streamed. Check it out.
