New Music! SXSW Artist Releases – October 2017

We’re celebrating the arrival of fall, and luckily we will have many new releases from past SXSW Showcasing Artists this month to soundtrack the new season. Each week we will highlight fresh albums from SXSW artists and link to a new Spotify playlist inspired by one of the releases to keep the SXSW community in-the-know. We provide these resources to help you discover new favorites as well as to check back in with veteran artists.

October 6 Releases

This week’s release list from past SXSW Showcasing Artists features an eclectic mix with a focus on electronic pop albums. A new album full of eccentric jazz beats from Shigeto titled The New Monday also arrives on Friday. Singer/songwriter Tamara Lindeman, who performs as The Weather Station, will release a new self-titled album. Canadian electronic pop act Blue Hawaii will drop Tenderness. Sunny indie-pop act Cults are back with Offering. LA electronic artist TOKIMONSTA drops Lune Rouge. New Zealand natives Yumi Zouma release their new indie pop album called Willowbank.

After taking a look at the weekly releases, we pick one new album and make a playlist for fans incorporating new music from past SXSW Showcasing Artists for them to discover. This week’s playlist features electronic R&B and is inspired by Kelela, whose new album Take Me Apart is dropping this Friday. Check it out because these playlists will only be active for seven days before we pick a new artist to focus on.

Keep up with our playlists on the official SXSW Spotify channel, and be sure to follow the playlist.

While we are happy to share music from past SXSW Showcasing Artists with you, the best way to be current is to attend SXSW 2018 in March. Now is the best time to sign up for the lowest rates on badges as well as your hotel. If you’re considering applying to showcase at the 2018 SXSW Music Festival, I recommend taking the plunge now, we process applications in the order they are received and so it is always best to apply as early as possible.

Soothing California Beach Photography by David Behar

Soothing California Beach Photography by David Behar

David Behar, a photographer from Los Angeles, California has shared a beautiful set of photography work titled Playa del Rey. In my opinion, he was able to capture the spirit of the beaches in southern California with a blue/teal/green color palette that is leans towards the cool spectrum. The photos also have a minimalist look with clean compositions and the ever present blue sky. I have been spending my vacations in Santa Barbara for the past 3 years and I’ve never been able to translate the feeling but now I can just point to David’s photos.

SXSW Place by Design Entry Tips: Deadline October 13

Place by Design is SXSW’s public space design competition, highlighting transformative work at the intersection of art, technology, and design that rethinks how we use and interact with the places around us. All artists, designers, community organizers, and entrepreneurs working in transforming the public realm are encouraged to apply. Selected applicants will present their work in a fast-paced pitch competition in the Cities Summit at SXSW (March 12-13, 2018).

Public space is a democratized testing ground for artists, designers, technologists, and entrepreneurs. What better place for them to speak about their work than SXSW, where the city of Austin becomes a thriving, active public space? Small-scale, site-specific projects that transform underutilized aspects of the built environment have the potential to enhance the public good through social interaction, education, civic engagement, health, and much more. Place by Design is a celebration of this work, and a chance for these ideas to gain new practitioners and scale.

Tips for Entry

• Place by Design is about transformation – Projects that transform underutilized urban fabric into something useful, interactive or beautiful. Surprise us!

• Anyone can apply – No formal accreditation is necessary; student work is accepted.

• Work needs to have achieved implementation in the past two years – Because the work is in part judged on impact, speculative design work is not accepted for this year’s program.

• Place by Design is not for fundraising – If you’re seeking investors for your idea, check out the SXSW Accelerator Pitch Event. PXD is for telling the story of your design, why and how it worked, and what it ultimately means (in under five minutes).

If you have additional questions about the program or application process, please contact citiessummit@sxsw.com. Get inspired by watching presentations from last year here.

Place by Design Applications Close: Friday, October 13, 2017 at 11:59pm PT
