Even though there was technically one last night of South by Southwest 2018, it still seemed as if Saturday was the festival's one true finale.

The best tune on 'Abacus' is definitely “Peru,” because of its mounting structure.

There's a feeling of fine control you get when you listen to a Kim Richey album. Her songs dig outward in two directions from country/americana, into both folk and pop. And her silvery vocals, burnished with a constant, cool vibrato, lack twangy affectation, sounding almost weirdly non-manipulative – to paradoxically emotional effect.

Marsh's fourth studio recording, 'The Pink Room,' shows she is in full command of the reins as a jazz singer.

The combination of syrupy, swampy blues and superbly talented musicians gives the music an irresistible tang.

Caroline Rose, Lucy Rose, and Soccer Mommy were among the Friday highlights at SXSW Music Festival 2018 on March 16 in Austin, Texas.

Jade Bird, Snail Mail, and Vita and the Woolf highlighted Thursday's music acts at SXSW 2018 in Austin, Texas.

I like this song a lot. Nick Lamb knows how to bring the heat.

'Sky Falling' is a good album. For the most part, the melodies are tantalizing.
