Mobley On His “Young & Dying In The Occident Supreme” Album, His Upcoming Virtual Tour, Life During COVID-19 & More

Later this month on February 19th, Last Gang Records will release Young & Dying In The Occident Supreme, the highly-anticipated new record from Mobley. The Texas-based musician and filmmaker. To support the release, Mobley will be kicking off his recently-announced virtual tour on Thursday, February 25th. The Devil In A Daydream tour will be a series of 9 virtual shows performed in unconventional natural and urban spaces, uniquely-intimate and captured on a cinematic scale. The diverse film locations include Mustang Island State Park, Austin FC’s brand-new soccer stadium, the Circuit Of The Americas Formula 1 racetrack and the architecturally-striking Austin Central Library.

Mobley will be joined by some interesting friends on this virtual tour, including Shallou, Lawrence, Magic Giant, James Petralli (of White Denim), Kam Franklin (of The Suffers), Sarah Jaffe, Spencer Ludwig, and Michigander. Mobley and these artists will be donating every dollar of their share of the funds raised to support each of the partnering venues and their furloughed staff, as well as to DAWA Fund, a nonprofit organization providing direct financial relief for musicians, artists, therapists, service industry workers and social workers of color. Mobley has also had the honor of being nominated for 3 2021 Austin Music Awards, including Musician Of The Year, Song Of The Year for his single “James Crow” and Best Innovation/Business Pivot for his 2020 Curbside Tour; winners to be announced here.

On January 27, 2021, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mobley via Zoom, as embedded below. We spoke about life during COVID-19, future plans related to Young & Dying In The Occident Supreme and plenty more.
