A bright, breezy guitar-picking indie rock tune buoyed by offplanet synth sounds. There’s a little bit of Texas twang in Mamalarkey’s songwriting, recalling the California transplants’ origins in Austin, Texas.

“Bat City” is hardly your run-of-the-mill, country radio cowtown. The city’s mantra of late is “Keep Austin Weird,” and Mamalarky do plenty to keep their self-titled debut weird. A little jazz, a little rock, a little psych. Spin the wheel and find out where you land.

Our highlighted track “Hero” communicates loungey vibes, sophistication, and keeps on coming with a sweet refrain that will light up your day.
