UPDATE: The Austin-based indie music collective, Happen Twice, has just announced the release of a groundbreaking 28-song compilation album, showcasing a vibrant cross-section of local artists. This urgent release reflects the evolving music scene in Austin, Texas, and aims to support the community’s cultural fabric.
The compilation, which runs for an impressive 91 minutes, features a diverse array of minimalistic indie rock arrangements, alongside standout contributions from artists like Stalefish and a lively cover of Charli XCX’s hit “Talk Talk” by Willy Steg. Each track is designed to ebb and flow, creating a dynamic listening experience that balances intensity with restraint.
This album not only enhances Happen Twice’s role as a multi-faceted presence in the music industry but also reinforces its commitment to local artistry. The initiative is particularly timely as it coincides with ongoing challenges facing independent media and arts communities. A portion of the album’s proceeds will be donated to support the Austin Chronicle, a vital independent news source that has served the community for over 40 years.
Authorities emphasize the importance of independent journalism in today’s climate, urging community members to contribute financially to ensure its survival. The Austin Chronicle has been a crucial platform for expressing political and environmental concerns, and now, it needs public support more than ever.
As Happen Twice continues to champion the ethos of mutual support within the indie music scene, this compilation serves as a rallying call for the community. The album is now available for streaming and purchase. Fans and supporters alike are encouraged to engage with this project, ensuring that independent voices remain vibrant and active.
Stay tuned for more updates as the album gains traction within the music community, and consider making a donation to help sustain independent journalism in Austin. This is a critical moment for both local artists and media outlets, and your support can make a significant difference.
