About
Acclaimed indie singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mobley returns with a rhapsodic new single, "Y'r Ghost," via Last Gang Records / MNRK Music Group. Written, performed, and produced by Mobley himself, this release signals his reemergence from the studio, where he’s been fervently crafting the sci-fi epic foreshadowed on his late 2022 EP Cry Havoc!. That collection of songs, as captivating as they are catchy, saw Mobley traversing sinuous soundscapes to tell the story of Jacob Creedmoor, the mysterious figure featured in the art and videos for that project. “Y’r Ghost” offers a first glimpse of the next installment of this sweeping sonic and narrative world. <br> Prior to Cry Havoc!, Mobley released Young & Dying In The Occident Supreme, his first EP on Last Gang. Recorded between Thailand and his Austin, TX, home studio, Young & Dying added several new textures to Mobley’s unique brand of futuristic art rock, from flirtations with psychedelia to instrumental flourishes reminiscent of Ennio Morricone. <br> The intervening years have seen the restless artist touring coast-to-coast, writing a forthcoming novel, and composing musical scores for film and stage. Most recently, he produced and directed the music for an Adidas commercial during the Paris Olympics. Previous compositions include the theme for Webby Award-winning SiriusXM & Smithsonian podcast All Music Is Black Music, hosted by Selema Masekela and featuring guests Kelly Rowland, Ne-Yo, St. Vincent, and many more. His songs have racked up millions of streams on DSPs and landed sync placements on HBO, FOX, NBC, ESPN, CW, and more; seen airplay adds on Alt Nation, KROQ, KUTX, ACL Radio, and KEXP; and received praise from Billboard, Noisey, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Consequence of Sound, and American Songwriter. <br> While the studio is his first love, Mobley is most at home on the road. The consummate frontman has played dozens of festivals worldwide (including ACL, Lollapalooza, Hangout, SXSW, Noise Pop, Reeperbahn, and Float Fest); and opened for the likes of Cold War Kids, Phantogram, James Blake, Bishop Briggs, WAVVES, ARIZONA, Dermot Kennedy, Sylvan Esso, and Matt & Kim. <br> The present moment finds Mobley focused on the future: “Living with and working through these songs and stories has been the most fulfilling challenge of my artistic life. I can’t wait to share it all and see the life it takes on when it’s no longer just mine.”
