we met each other scuba diving. "…with Oh, Beatrice, Tacks, the Boy Disaster has recorded one of the strongest local debuts in recent memory, the rare work genuinely deserving of being called beautiful. In short, it's unforgettable." – The Daily Texan "This band sounds like everything you’ve ever wanted to hear in a band. Pure, unadulterated sonic bliss." – Mundane Sounds "Tacks had the formula down: killer hooks, ear-teasing lyrics; and the crowd was doing something that rarely occurs at shows anymore – dancing." – Austin Chronicle

Tacks, The Boy Disaster
Having roots in Midlake, the Polyphonic Spree, and David Chenu’s local jazz quintet, Austin’s Tacks, the Boy Disaster demonstrates a breadth and beauty few bands are capable of. The quartet’s self-recorded debut EP, Oh, Beatrice, recently issued overseas by UK label Ark Recordings, is a rich tapestry of breezy 1970s folk and ethereal imagery, led by swaying piano lines and the gentle vocals of Evan Jacobs. – Austin Powell
