&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Three years after dazzling at the Austinists' first Local Music Is Sexy bash, Visitors continue to coin undeniable pop ditties and fine tune their recording practices. Their debut full-length Secrets, chock-full of catchy melodies and introspective lyricism, is suitable for freewheeling mornings and late evening reflection alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 8px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Austin Chronicle recently name checked Basic by asking the simple question, &quot;What's in a name? Well, Basic's name is appropriate: Three chords, bass, drums. Still, it's hard to pin down why the local trio's music is so infectious. &quot;&lt;/p&gt;
