UPDATE: Happen Twice has just launched a groundbreaking 28-song compilation album, showcasing a dynamic range of artists from the vibrant Austin music scene. This urgent release not only highlights minimalistic indie rock but also reinforces the community’s spirit of mutual support by donating partial proceeds to the Austin Chronicle, a vital independent news source.
The album, clocking in at 91 minutes, features a kaleidoscope of musical styles, including a unique cover of Charli XCX’s hit “Talk Talk” by local favorite Willy Steg. This blend of sounds and genres underscores Happen Twice’s commitment to fostering creativity and collaboration among artists in the area.
Each track ebbs and flows with purpose, balancing intensity with restraint, creating a continuous and engaging listening experience. The release is not just a celebration of music; it’s a testament to Happen Twice’s ethos that independence thrives through community support.
In an era where local journalism faces unprecedented challenges, the Austin Chronicle has served as a cornerstone of the community for over 40 years, voicing local political and environmental concerns while promoting the cultural landscape of Austin.
Now more than ever, the Chronicle needs your support to continue providing independent, free press. The organization urges supporters to contribute as little as $5 to sustain its journalism efforts, emphasizing the importance of real news in today’s world.
As the album hits digital platforms, fans are encouraged to spread the word. This initiative is not just about music; it’s about community resilience and support for independent voices.
