If coffee house ambiance had the same moderately caffeinated energy their beverages do, that would illustrate the energy of Austin alt-pop artist Maxwell Knowles. The bouncing basslines, playful piano melodies, and his suave, baritone voice create a sound that’s interesting and comforting at the same time. Even with a song called “Monsters.”
Knowles releases “Monsters” today ahead of his album Daydreaming In the Dark, out April 25th. The album is a showcase of Knowles’s Bon-Iver-meets-James-Blake talents, and he brings those talents to Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar on E. 11th on March 28th.
“Monsters” is on Daydreaming In the Dark, out April 25th.
