Molly Burch: “To The Boys” [ACL Fest Preview]

By: Jack Anderson

Only a year into her burgeoning music career, L.A.-born Austin-based singer-songwriter Molly Burch blends a magnificent brew of old and new. Burch’s heartbreak-inspired debut album Please Be Mine came out to acclaim in 2017 and tomorrow she follows it up with another intimate arrangement of originals, First Flower.

Needless to say, it’s been quite a week for Molly Burch! She dropped by Studio 1A on Monday, plays 5pm today at Waterloo Records and prefaces her Saturday ACL performance with the digital release of First Flower (all before embarking on an international tour). You can catch her playing this first Saturday of Austin City Limits, starting at noon at the Barton Springs stage. Here’s the lead single from First Flower, “To The Boys”!

Nick Adamo: “Lie to Me”

Every December, everyone says that this year was the absolute worst. And while I won’t debate the objective demerits of 2022, it sure has felt like an especially long turn around the sun. It’s wild to think about, but at the end of this month, we’ll technically be twice as close to 2025 as we […]

Easy Compadre!: “Besos De Menta” (feat. Starflake)

Prog-pop. Admittedly not the most expected pairing compared to its ’70s counterpart prog-rock. But here’s where it gets interesting. Austin three-piece Easy Compadre! also incorporates a little bit of cumbia, synth-wave and other worldly styles into their sonics. Comprised of guitarist Hector Tednoir, keyboardist/bassist Oscar Botello and percussionist Chido Machine, Easy Compadre’s been doing their […]

Even the most prolific creatives benefit from a period of recess, and when they come back, more often than not they’re better than ever. Among those who’ve made the most of their time off is Turkish […]

Friend in Law: “Hold Out”

Way before Elon Musk or Joe Rogan moved here, I remember seeing a ton of bumper stickers and T-shirts with slogans like these: “Don’t L.A. my A.T.X.”, “Don’t Dallas My Austin”, and yes, even “Don’t Put Your Big ‘D’ in My Little ‘A’”. Now, I can’t recall the last time I saw one of those […]
