The Next Generation

KUTX ARTIST OF THE MONTH
The music of new Austin duo Flora & Fawna summons a deep city groove  – rhythmically incessant, icy cool and modern. You can almost hear it echoing through nighttime concrete canyons. Yet there’s also something warm and soulful about the way songwriters and multi-instrumentalist songwriters Lili Hickman and Mason Ables blend their voices into one. Both native Austinites, the two met by chance at the Spider House.

Flora & Fawna’s eponymous debut EP will be released on September 26th, with a record release party at Cheer Up Charlies.
