Austinist Giveaway: Irving, Voxtrot @ Emo's This Saturday!

Silver Lake's Irving first gained recognition back in 2002 with Good Morning Beautiful, a solid debut notable for its artfully crafted blend of psych-pop and electronic eclecticism. In the four years since then, they've made quite a name for themselves, having released a follow-up EP, I Hope You're Feeling Better Now, and earlier this month their second full-length, Death In The Garden, Blood On The Flowers. Do a quick google search and you'll find most critics and music bloggers mentioning that, A) they've also opened for the likes of The Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, and the Polyphonic Spree, and B) all five members of the band (Aaron Burrows, Alex Church, Brent Turner, Brian Canning, Steven Scott) are songwriters, both being nifty bits of cocktail party information as well as telltale indications of the band's deft musicianship. SPIN's Alyssa Rashbaum describes Death In The Garden as "filled with lush harmonies, summery pop, and a keyboard that was mined for every possible sound it could make."
