Austin’s
Still Corners is back with a fourth studio album
Slow Air (released August 17 via
Wrecking Light). The promo tour will stop by the Turf Club in St Paul on Tuesday.
We haven’t seen the band
since 2013, and said, “Singer Tessa Murray stared out at the crowd with intense eyes as she sang over the pulsating beat and simple instrumentation. Next up was "Beatcity', a synth-laden, dancey tune where Murray sang breathily 'I haven't see you for some time..". They then reverted back to an older song 'Into the Trees', an infectiously cool song with a repetitive guitar line, more breathy vocals and precise percussion.”
