Although Austin is not a city known for its experimental pop and instrumental post-rock, such as that created by duo Chipper Jones, the genre does have a presence and a precedent in this town. When reflecting on the genre, I always think back to Austin band Cue, who played out frequently when I was just beginning to be immersed in Austin’s music scene almost a decade ago. Just this weekend, instrumental band Equals celebrated the release of an album, and tomorrow night, like-minded band Chipper Jones will celebrate the release of a new record, Two Rooms, with a show at Cheer Up Charlies. The bill also features notable Austin bands Couduroi, Milezo, and Museo.
Ahead of this album release show, the band has shared a new video for “amarillo/headrush,” which is premiering today, here on Pop Press International. The video was filmed by Riley Engemoen and features footage of the duo performing the song at Big Orange Studios. “amarillo/headrush” typifies the fluttering, minimalist post-rock found across the ten tracks that comprise Two Rooms. Watch the video for the song below, and find out more about Chipper Jones’ release show here.
