“Echotone” premiered at SXSW this last week, which is fitting because it’s about the changing urban landscape of Austin.

Like many progressive cities the culture of weird is being co-opted and driven out by developers and businesses that compete for young talent. So this is a love story, a romantic swan song of an era that once was.

Where will they go now? Maybe the latest Arcade Fire album is a sign. Or maybe indie rockers are feeling what it’s like to be a minority for the last 20 years.
