If there is one thing that is plentiful in Austin, it’s rock bands. They come in all shapes, sizes and genres, which makes it hard to cut through the noise. What helps is discovering your niche, carving it out, and excelling at it, which Om Wahs appears to be on the path to doing. Fogwall, a new single released in anticipation of an album this spring, comes on with the strength of a Tame Impala or Deerhunter, making the fact that it was recorded in a bedroom that much more impressive (not bad company to keep, seeing as those artists started out doing a similar method of recording). I love myself some psych rock, and Om Wahs has definitely made my watchlist.
