Casie Luong: “Easy Lately”

By: Jack Anderson

When it comes to high standards, Mother Falcon doesn’t just let any old fledgling into their collective nest. There’s no exception to the rule when it comes to Austin-based songwriter Casie Luong who, in addition to her virtuoso piano and vocal skills, has become an integral part of the annual Mother Falcon Music Lab as an instructor.

And on top of her semi-recent interest in acting, Luong’s blossomed into quite the solo songwriter and producer since the release of her 2015 EP Grow, venturing into soul, pop, and R&B considerably more than her MF chamber-folk bandmates. With the help of Moses Elias and Payton Long, Casie Luong just shared another groove-heavy single last week, one that’ll keep you wanting more and more from this up-and-comer: “Easy Lately”!

Dorio: “Plastic Heart” [Live In Studio 1A]

There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio that’s just sweet, sticky, and timeless. It simultaneously takes me to a certain sunny side of the 90’s; my old, cozy, West Campus apartment; and some of the best new music I’ve been listening to all year. It’s also something none of us around here can stop listening […]

Maria Taylor: “Never Thought I’d Feel New”

The feeling of being perpetually confined by your own thoughts is ugly and burdensome. When we root for ourselves and finally find ourselves on the other side of the chrysalis, life is colorful once again, and the feeling of mentally reentering and contributing to the world in a meaningful way is unparalled. This sentiment echoes […]

Cure for Paranoia: [Live At Scholz Garten]

The story behind Dallas hip-hop trio Cure for Paranoia is a tender one. Born during a “doomsday roadtrip” following a mental health diagnosis by frontman Cameron McCloud that later found more fuel following the death of McCloud’s mother, grief has been turned into motivation, one McCloud used to rap every day and put it on […]
