   About The Story Of

The Story Of is the musical collaboration between five friends. We were raised and cultured in the midwest, banded together in Athens, OH, and currently reside in the sunshine of Austin, TX. |Full Bio|

all

"Until The Autumn is an auspicious rebirth. Ten charming, emotive songs are set upon catchy melodies that stick with you....Thematically, the album teems with meandering narratives nuanced by personal moments that connect with the greater human experience, sparing no degree of tragedy or candor."
Francesca Camillo - AustinSound

"A quintet whose Bodies of Water-meets-Pink Floyd's Meddle musical vibe, left-of-center populism, and charmingly naive "brothers and sisters" worldview are just the tonic we need for these troubling times."
eMusic Editors Pick

"The passionate, melodic vocals push the music to its peak, while the lyrics express their concern over current political issues."
NPR

"Another superb facet of this album is the band’s unique instrumental qualities and its familiarity with change. The tone and atmosphere of the songs are almost dictated by the lyrics."
Popwreckoning

"From the reverberated vocals to the ghostly harmonies, the deep string sections and the overall infectious indie rock, Until The Autumn is a strong start to a new year of music."
Consequence of Sound

"These guys really know how to tailor a song."
David Brown |KUT| Texas Music Matters

"The World's Affair is definitely a solid album worth not just one listen, but many to sort through the layers of creativity at work here. From the heady art-rock of "Wonderlust" to the chamber pop of "After Just A While," The Story Of creates some excellent pop with tons of depth that is definitely not to be dismissed as just another band from Austin."
Delusions of Adequacy

"They came bearing gifts of dreamy falsetto melodica wisping around a piano, a child choir, experimental sounds and guitar rock..."
Austinist

"Every song is a self-contained ecosystem, with details and sounds and quirks unique to that world...In another nod to the band's mastery, there is a conscious effort to match the content of the lyrics with the surrounding music. The most obvious messages are stuck right out front, while the more obscure passages lie deep in the mix, surrounded by layers of complex melody."
Space City Rock

"The Story Of, an Austin band by way of Ohio, more than proves that it is not the volume at which a band plays their music rather it is what a band does with its instruments. A-"

Thibault's new band, Auto Body, is aliiiiiiiiive!!!!


Conceived in and birthed from Austin's steamy underground houses of Rock, Auto Body is live Electro Fusion. Fueled by their shared bloodlust for sonic divinity, and armed with a war chest of synthesizers, samplers, rattlesnakes, and a bass guitar, Tibaut Bowman (DJ Thibault) and Felix Moreno (Future Rock), crusade the universe in search of the electronic Holy Grail.



click here to check it out!



Auto Body will be playing on Saturday, July 25th at Wicker Park Fest in Chicago, so tell your friends!

HEADDRESS :: LUNES in stores now!!!

"Lunes is a massive album of psychedelic drone and ambient metal. It's a heavy record, for sure." - No Quarter

"this one's begging to shake your turntable." - Raven Sings the Blues

"Lunes is one of those albums that bends your perception of time" - Sound Fix

"This is going to scare you so if you are alone, turn on the lights." - Too Cool to Die

Photobucket
Lunes is the second album by the Texas psychedelic duo Headdress. Written in the desert but recorded during an endless New York City winter, the album is a dark meditation on Americana. Guitarist Caleb Coy and organist Ethan Cook sculpt a cold, expansive sound made ripe for these turbulent times. It’s the blues shaped by the avant-compositions of La Monte Young and Dylan Carlson. It's drone rooted deep in the American tradition.
