Good Looks

Texas roots rockers Good Looks are a band who uphold the Lone Star State's history of strong, thoughtful songwriting while marrying it to a sound that's informed by indie rock as much as alt-country. The group's music is sturdy and unpretentious, while making the most of echoey guitar figures that evoke late nights, the constraints of small town life, and the lives of people struggling to find the source of their dissatisfaction. The group's songs reveal a political consciousness that embraces populism with compassion and without authoritarianism. Good Looks showed off the template of their sound on their fine 2022 debut album, Bummer Year.
