“They say the heart grows fonder with every step you take / but as you move away from me, I feel my body break” cries Austin-based newcomer Molly Burch, in her sensationally soulful debut offering ‘Downhearted’. Diving into the depths of love and lovesickness - Burch elegantly navigates her way around jangling guitars, and a groovy, Americana-tinged rhythm section. Whilst there is an undoubtable sense of melancholy about the track, there’s a glorious touch of hope in its sporadic, major-key instrumentation. Overall, ‘Downhearted’ is an incredibly impressive introduction, and we can’t wait to hear what else Molly Burch has got up her sleeve. ‘Downhearted’ is set for release on 7” vinyl via Captured Tracks on September 16th, and you can preorder it here. -JC
