Abacus Remixes Austin's Ola Podrida

Spencer Stephenson, aka Abacus, is a Denton-based producer and musician that pieces together incredible songs with found and recycled sounds. The music he creates is dreamy and glitchy, inspired a lot by bands like Caribou and Four Tet. He's up in north Texas right now, but has plans to start performing here in Austin this year with the release of his full-length, which will probably be released under a different moniker. Stephenson has loads of talent and we hope to keep tabs on him, but we'd be remiss not to mention his remixing work. Most recently, he took some time to retreat Ola Podrida's "Monday Morning" (check it out here), and the result is absolutely gorgeous. Ola Podrida is an Austin favorite of our and his most recent album, In the Belly of the Lion, is available on local label Western Vinyl.
