Based in Austin, Texas, Mobley is known for his electric one-man performances that get everyone in hearing distance on their feet. He wrote his forthcoming record while in Thailand, gaining inspiration as an outsider looking into his own country from a different vantage point. Mobley recorded the majority of the guitar lines in an apartment on a remote island in the Gulf of Thailand, using a knockoff Telecaster he bought in Bangkok on his first day in the country.

Back in the U.S., Mobley’s home recording studio awaited, as well as an arsenal of instruments, from piano to trumpet to glockenspiel. It was here that Mobley built out the lush production that characterizes the record (he cites Italian composer Ennio Morricone as an influence). He also donned his filmmaker cap, writing and directing a visual EP that will premiere in February alongside the record. The music videos for his first two singles, “Nobody’s Favourite” and “James Crow,” comprise parts I and II of the four-part film.
