SXSW is literally ’round the corner, and wandering around the streets of Austin aimlessly is completely unacceptable. Some semblance of a plan must be in order, or at least have a friend to be in charge of that shizz. C=T’s first act to not miss this year at SX is a Toronto duo on one of my favorite labels, Arts and Crafts, Trust. The duo consists of Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski (Austra) to create an elegant skuzzy quality that exists somewhere between a dark abandoned warehouse in the industrial part of town and a fashion runway in Paris during Fashion Week. You can purchase their new album, “TRST,” here and catch them at their many SXSW shows below. Photo via A&C.
