Texas rocker Austin Meade has made his statement clear when it comes to exploring different music styles, genres and sounds. With each record he has put out being a different aesthetic, and his evolution from the Americana-centric sound to straight rock has shown the diversity he can display in his music. His latest release, FACE OF THE FREAK SHOW, is yet another example of what Meade can pull off in the current realm he is in sonically.
FACE OF THE FREAK SHOW stands out in a few ways when put next to his other recent singles like INSIGNIFICANT OTHER or STONER FANTASY. There are cool effects and electronic elements that piece this tune together with a killer mix of Meade’s typical rock sound keeping it anchored. We sound like a broken record by now when describing his songwriting abilities, but each release shows his maturing in lyricism and his own style really starting to stand out. The production by Andrew Baylis is top-tier and really complements Meade’s sound.
This is an impressive new single by Austin Meade, and he has sure been on a streak lately of solid releases ever since BLACKOUT. It gets me excited for a new album hopefully in the near future, because if it’s going to be anything like these songs, we’re in for a treat.
