STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"Possibly the wildest record I've heard all year. A compelling all-over-the-map collision of jazz, blues, show tunes, garage rock, and Latino flavors. At points, hypnotic, cinematic, lush, and dissonant—but there’s no question that it is also a challenging, at times daunting, listen." BLURT Magazine ringing in with effusive praise for J Hacha de Zola.
"New York buzz, California sunshine, punk thrill. Innocent, warm, upbeat and infectious melodies that buzz in beautiful agitation," says UK site Drunken Werewolf in its review of the new EP by Shining Mirrors, out Nov. 3rd.
"Drawing from his relationships with Texas legends — Townes Van Zandt and comedian Bill Hicks — he writes personally about lost friends," says Austin Monthly in its review of Stephen Doster's just-released new album, adding, "Ultimately New Black Suit is an extended eulogy filled with an appreciation for life."
Kind words from Peter Blackstock in the Austin American-Statesman about the just-released new album from Stephen Doster: "Doster’s revelatory 2014 album Arizona was his first release in 18 years, but its success inspired him to reconvene quickly. The results are similarly wondrous." New Black Suit is available now via Atticus Records.
“Stephen Doster’s 2014 LP, Arizona, struck like lightning. New Black Suit maintains the momentum, sharpening his keen studio ear for perfect, driving melodies in the key of reflection,” says the Austin Chronicle in its rave review today.
"The album’s lead-single, 'Forgetting About Me' has a swirling keyboard that reminds me of Cheap Trick’s 'Surrender,' a driving, full-on pop masterpiece," says Popdose in its rave review of Mark Bryan's Songs of the Fortnight, out Aug. 11 via Chucktown Music Group.
