It’s been cold in Austin. Like the blast of frigid temps in your face make you almost miss the hot humid summer of 2014. Get your summer day vibes via the crisp indie rock of Comforter. These four guys - Ryan Curtis, Hunter Thompson, BJ Thomas and Russell Cole - know how to make you yearn for the days of 8 p.m. sunsets and cold beer. They are hosting their tape release show this Thursday at Holy Mountain. Dust off your Walkman and warm up with Comforter. -Allison Mayoral
