Matt Oliver's Twitter account continues to dish out excellent musical recommendations. After introducing me to the new "Wino Strut" single by his former Sound Team bandmate Bill Baird, Oliver mentioned a band he'd recently recorded at his Big Orange Studio in Austin for Daytrotter: Hundred Visions. The band, also from Austin, is a juggernaut of rollicking drums, deeply rhythmic guitars, and resonant and wailing vocals. Over the course of the debut three-song "Last Cab From Tunis" 7", it's easy to fall under the spell of Hundred Visions' ferociously propelled post-punk fuzz, Southern-brewed funk, and playful sprinklings of cowbell and handclaps. And according to their Daytrotter session, they sound even better live. Clearly, this is a band that's going places. Make sure to grab Hundred Visions' Daytrotter set and buy their digital 7" (with accompanying vinyl on the way) from Bandcamp.
