If monster-chic costuming, intoxicatingly energized performances, and effect-haunted art-rock is a Recession Indicator, I don’t want to live through a boom. Five tracks of bewitchingly distorted hyperpunk freshly released as Recession Indicator join 2025’s SLUDGEcontent EP to create the Austin experimental collective’s first LP. After spinning their whirlwind of avant-garde couture and glitch-glam pop-rock through Europe, Hotel Vegas hosts J’cuuzi’s triumphant return and a release celebration sure to go down in the annals of Austin history. Experimental vaporwave outfit Auragraph opens and special guest Almost Heaven adds excitement to the already electrified evening. – Caroline Drew
