His Feeling Today EP has just been released on Western Vinyl, and a full length album is expected later this year. "Botany's debut Feeling Today explores the cosmic nexus of shimmering psychedelia, blissed-out pop, and instrumental hip-hop, as he turns recycled sounds into something thoroughly modern. For Spencer there's a therapeutic value in reconfiguring the "noise" of an information-dense consumer culture into something nourishing and honest. He collects artifacts...scavenged bits of ephemera...all of the organic and inorganic matter that [...]

"Austin, Texas band Moonlight Towers (taking its name from the tall vintage streetlights that illuminate Austin's nights) is a genuine band that does what comes naturally: writing, recording and playing real rock n' roll (with a hearty pop kick!)
