Full of howling guitars, screeching synths and apocalyptic raps, Panic Ruminations sounds like the end of the world but more importantly, it sparks inspiration for what comes next. What’s the sound: Joined by noise rap pioneers Moodie Black on production, Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice offers up his most incendiary and consistent work yet on Panic Ruminations. Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice Panic Ruminations What’s the sound: A smart and puckish update on the indie sounds of acts like Rilo Kiley and Metric, Charlie Belle’s Like I Love This is mature without being a drag, poppy without being disposable. What’s the sound: A raw, heartwrenching, righteous work that blends electro-punk, hip hop and indie sounds and has an endless buffet of hooks, an unimpeachable classic that we named one of the top 10 Austin albums of the 2010s for a reason. The duo of fiery vocalist Eric Burton and celebrated guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada ignited a new national interest in the Austin soul scene and as far as debuts go, their eponymous full length is about as solid as it gets. What’s the sound: Not since the Daptone wave has their been a neo-soul movement as exciting as Black Pumas. You couldn’t possibly get a better sampling of the thrilling Austin hip hop scene in one place. Na the Producer’s sparse, piano-driven beat leaves plenty of room for all three to shine, from Quin’s anarchic fury to Phranchyze’s laid back irreverence to Zeale’s smooth lyrical athleticism. What’s the sound: On “Phantom,” three of Austin’s brightest hip hop stars come together and the result is unsurprisingly explosive. In honor of both of these efforts, we have decided to make a Bandcamp Buyer’s Guide highlighting 20 of our favorite black artists operating out of Austin. Bandcamp will also be donating their proceeds to the NAACP Legal Defense on June 19th, for Juneteenth. Today, June 5th, Bandcamp is waiving its cut of purchase fees to give all of the proceeds directly to artists, many of whom have chosen to donate those sales to non-profit organizations and causes in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement.
