Quin Galavis premieres 3 tracks from 'The Battery Line', followup to multi-Best-of-2016 earning album


"Much like Paul Westerberg, Galavis proves to have a penchant for writing songs that are are fast and at times heavy while still managing to be insanely catchy." -- Glide Magazine

"Less than 10 months after releasing his melancholic magnum opus, My Life in Steel and Concrete, emotionally intense songwriter Quin Galavis returns with The Battery Line, his personal pop apex. Don’t worry, it’s not as uplifting as it sounds." -- Austin Chronicle


Austin, TX songwriter Quin Galavis premieres 3 new tracks today from The Battery Line, the more refined yet lyrically weighty followup to last year's critically-praised double album. Austin Chronicle interviews Galavis on the new, catchier sounding album and its dark portents, alongside song premiere "Faces In The Crowd" HERE. (Soundcloud)

Glide Magazine describes album track "Any Head" as the work of a long-lost son of Paul Westerberg. Hear & share the powerful track HERE. (Soundcloud). The Spill Magazine shares the powerful album track "Guiding Light" HERE. (Soundcloud).  

Quin Galavis has built a strong reputation for producing a variety of high quality music via acclaimed
bands including Nazi Gold and The Dead Space, and through his previous solo work. Unpredictable and experimental from record to record and from live performance to live performance, Quin Galavis continues to challenge himself and his audience to reconsider and subvert what it means to be an artist and musician.

The Battery Line was recorded with Aaron Blount (Knife in the Water) & John Michael Landon at Austin's Estuary Recording Facility. The album's powerful, expressive and hook-laden songs show that Galavis isn't beholden to the dark avant rock of his previous album. Catchy riffs and quasi power pop moments give the album a lifting spirit. Ten songs of heart & guts, the new album comes out on 16 June 2017 via Super Secret Records.

His sophomore album, 2016's immersive, ambitious double-LP, My Life in Steel and Concrete, appeared on multiple end-of-year top ten lists and was spotlighted in an Austin Chronicle feature story. The record's soundscape is as varied and challenging as the themes it explores, and it features a host of Austin's diverse musical elite: Thor Harris (Swans and Shearwater), Sabrina Ellis (Sweet Spirit/A Giant Dog), Graham Low (A Giant Dog), and Ian Rundell (Ghetto Ghouls), to name a few.  

The Battery Line will be available on LP, CD and download on June 16th via Super Secret Records
