On October 5, the Texas-based Molly Burch will release her sophomore album, First Flower via Captured Tracks. First Flower is the follow up to Burch’s acclaimed debut Please Be Mine. It is a walk-through Molly’s most intimate thoughts, exploring broken friendships, her relationship to her sister and how she learned to fight overwhelming anxiety. Throughout, her voice is as strong and dexterous as ever, displaying her incredible range and professionalism as a vocalist.
While hurricane Harvey kept Molly locked in at home, she wrote much of the album, bouncing ideas off her bandmate and boyfriend Dailey Toliver who would contribute guitar parts and orchestration suggestions. When it came time to record, Burch chose to work with Erik Wofford at Cacophony Recorders in Austin.
The band will be headed out to support the record on a series of dates this fall and winter:
