Molly Burch
On her sophomore release,
First Flower (Captured Tracks, 2018), this Austin singer-songwriter turns her
bleeding-heart lyrics away from romance to stare down her inner anxieties.
"I struggle with the anticipation of experiences. I do not have the answers by any means. [The album] is me being transparent."
Molly Burch is at 191 Toole with the melancholic indie-pop of
Jackie Cohen and homeboy
Brian Lopez.

From Queens, this indie rapper's latest project
Raw Every Day (R.E.D.) is a clash of aggressive, violent songs juxtaposed with extremely personal and introspective songs.
"I didn't approach the project with a specific concept in mind. I wanted to just be as real as possible,"
Aaron Cohen expands. "I wanted to tell the truth. If I felt angry, I made an angry song. If I felt sad, I made a sad song. If I was feeling like the man, I wrote a song about being the man." "Capitalist"
Aaron Cohen spits blood red at Solar Culture backed by
B.I.G., Amazen, DIAMONDSR8, Young Mob and others.
