MOLLY BURCH'S FIRST FLOWER
OUT TODAY VIA CAPTURED TRACKS

"stoic with the innate sensual glow of Golden Era Hollywood starlets like Judy Garland and Loretta Young. But just like those iconic women, there’s something mysterious about her that’s hard to pinpoint. She’s the last person in the club you would expect to be center stage, but when she is up there — she transforms. And she is excellent." FADER GEN F FEATURE

"The open-ended imagery of a two-person partnership falls under Burch’s magic for finding the archetypal emotion in everyday life." AUSTIN CHRONICLE COVER STORY

"By inserting pointed lyrics into an older musical style, Burch stirs up many of the assumptions that surround the way she sings. On 'To the Boys,' she is both feminine and in charge. She doesn’t need to play-act machismo in order to be heard. She knows there is strength in her gentleness." PITCHFORK

"Burch is your typical Texan girl-next-door with a twist of mysterious vixen power." PENTHOUSE

"There’s a self-soothing vibe to the way Burch opens up on First Flower, like she’s reaching out, looking for like-minded souls. And it is a worthwhile effort." NO DEPRESSION

"A time-traveling delight." EARMILK

"It’s all give-and-take between the jangly lead guitar and Burch’s warm, jazzy vocals, painting the singer-songwriter as both feminine and in-charge." PASTE

US TOUR KICKS OFF THIS WEEKEND AT ACL FESTIVAL
Today, the Texas-based singer / songwriter Molly Burch releases her sophomore album, First Flowervia Captured Tracks. The album 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.

This weekend, Molly kicks off her North American tour at Austin City Limits Festival. She and her band hit NYC’s Rough Trade on October 13 and the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles on October 26. Check below for a complete list of dates.
