Welsh Avenue: “New Ways”

By: Jack Anderson

Songwriter-producer Mark DiLillo has called Austin his home for quite some time, but it’s only been within the past couple years that he’s emerged in the local scene as Welsh Avenue. New wave, pop, and electro collide on Welsh Avenue’s arrangements, and no effect or tone is off limits for the experimental mind of DiLillo. Welsh Avenue released The Great Exchange EP in 2017 and “Disco Moon” last summer and he’s already got a few more tricks up his sleeve.

You can see Welsh Avenue at Opa Coffee and Wine Bar, tomorrow from 8-10pm, and to steer you in the right direction, check out “New Ways”!

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

There’s something about every song by Austin’s Dorio, the duo of Chad Doriocourt and Rachel Rascoe, 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 […]

Andrew Vineski: “Today”

Austin pianist Andrew Vineski is the embodiment of modern vintage and self-confidence. Many artists these days will tell you their sound is inspired by a bunch of obscure musicians, or that they’re modernizing an existing sound. But I like a good subversion, and in the current state of new music, owning a love for the […]

Formed by DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat, the pair have celebrated hit after hit– and not just singles, but full albums — an especially impressive feat in the streaming era. Not to be confused with neo-soul and […]

Mobley: “Yesterday’s Another Day” [Live In Studio 1A]

When it comes to Mobley’s career, what started as writing smart R&B pop bops has grown into full concept albums revolving around racism, technology, and our future, composing cautionary tales warning of a regressing society and the darkest parts of science fiction decaying into neither predictive science nor fiction. Mobley’s new album We Do Not Fear […]
