Meade Austin Black Sheep

On Black Sheep, the new album from Texas born Austin Meade delivers songs and stories that, like the young singer / guitarist himself, are contradictory yet cohesive. His influences--musical and otherwise--are as varied and rich as the small-town Texas soil that nurtured his talent, yielding 12 stellar songs ranging from the insinuating multi-layered musicality and storytelling of "Déjà Vu" to the dark alt-pop of "Happier Alone," and on further to the new-age, Sabbath-inspired "Dopamine Drop".
