Herizon Music’s New Releases: September 2025
Steel Gemini, Texas
“Legendary Man” (single, synth pop)
Synth-pop artist Steel Gemini’s (Joy Baldwin) new album Legendary is a heartfelt tribute to Austin icons The Reivers’ 1985 album Translate Slowly. Baldwin’s version does the music proud with her modern interpretation. The love song “Legendary Man” hints at psychotic tendencies with thoughts of drowning and strangling their object of affection. Maybe it’s a fine-line parasocial song like The Police’s “Every Breath You Take.” Draw your own conclusions. That said, the promotional pink cassette tape is a conversation starter and pays homage to the ‘80s Pretty-In-Pink vibe. OMG, is Duckie the legendary man?!?
Katie McTigue, California
Pacing (album, pop culture punk)
Pop-culture humor mixed with low-tech punk sensibilities make Katie McTigue’s Pl*net F*tness project a worthy track-flicking romp. I suspect McTigue is a lyrical genius impersonating an everyday Jo(sephine). The short “disclaimer” may be the most revealing and tempting opening track ever recorded in 1 minute and 10 seconds. The whole album is icing on the cake.
Abigayle Oakley, Las Vegas/Nashville
“Hazel Eyed Lover in Patagonia” feat. jed and the valentine (single, folk)
Calling all you campers, hikers and tired rockstars! Abigayle Oakley’s self-released single is a folk ditty that kisses ‘90s indie college station DJ’s. This is the get-back-to-nature anthem for Gen Z’s who are ready for a more meaningful connection with people and nature than an app could ever simulate.
Eva Pagán, New York City
“Til I Die” (single, electro-pop)
Switching the channel for all you Spanglish electronic fans. Eva Pagàn released a club banger about love at first sight with “Til I Die.” Jaded chicks like me know that new relationship fireworks fizzle out before the Grim Reaper comes knocking, but I sure do love the electrified optimism!

Estani, Texas
“Para Que Recordar” (single, conjunto)
Wavemakers Women In Music grant winner Estani Frizell covers just about every Latin genre you can think of. The traditional single “Para Que Recordar” pays homage to her conjunto songstress grandmother. Estani’s new album Tu De Mi Te Acordarás (You Will Remember Me) even features short narratives from her abuela about each song. It’s a 5-margarita rating!

Trousdale, California
Growing Pains, (album, pop)
The Trousdale trio includes SoCal composers/singers Georgia Greene (pianist), Lauren Jones (singer/songwriter), and Quinn D'Andrea (classical pianist)
Ever break up with someone because they just couldn’t get their shit together? Then a miracle occurs and he/she is bragging about how they’re living their best life, achieving all their goals, and blissfully happy and attractive to everyone? I just learned these confused people are called fantasists, and “Over and Over” is for them.

Yeah, that pink cassette is a cool touch.
I still work full time, so my free time is precious. In my life, live stream content isn't compelling enough to put on my calendar. I much prefer on-demand replays.
