Daily Worker: “Delmar Overload”

Andy Maguire

Despite only releasing music since 2019, Austin indie rock outfit Daily Worker seems to be taking a page from the Robert Pollard and King Gizzard book of prodigious releases. The group, helmed by Cotton Mather guitarist Harold Whit Williams, has released over a dozen album in just six years. Not surprising when you’re not only a musician, but a prolific poet and author.

By my count, their latest album marks the 15th installment in Daily Worker’s discography. Field Holler is a trove of lo-fi, jangly indie pop gems. And speaking of Robert Pollard, “Delmar Overload” is a Guided By Voices-inspired tune with packed with a buzzy-string laced hook a great, driving guitar solo, and plenty of 90’s indie nostalgia.

Daily Worker plays a free show this evening at six o’clock at Antone’s Record Shop on the Drag at 29th.
