Singer Mothé hails from Houston. (Courtesy photo) A smattering of what’s going on in music by LGBTQ artists and the artists we love. Non-binary artist Mothé shares “photobooth” Mothé (she/they) recently shared the video for their new single, “photobooth.” Filmed on location in Los Angeles, the clip was directed by Derek Rathbun.
The singer hails from Houston but is now based in Los Angeles since 2019. The first Mothé release, the six-track EP Cindi, arrived on Slowlab Records in 2020.
From Mothé’s publicity: Here, the multi-instrumentalist pulled from varied rich personal experiences such as cutting their teeth while playing guitar in punk bands at Texas house parties and immersing themselves fully in the magical, rite-of-passage world of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at an impressionable age.
A string of brilliant, pulsating synth-rock singles like “Debt Collector” and “Dancing On An Empty Floor” followed, culminating in I Don’t Want You To Worry Anymore, Mothé’s 2022 debut LP, and their first tour, opening for The Wrecks. “I think one of my purposes in life is to draw conclusions,” they point out, regarding their penchant for frequently offering up material with introspective lyrics. “I just feel like I’m always trying to answer the question ‘Why?’ really desperately.” Mothé will embark on the Big Night Out tour co-headlining the west coast with Chloe Lilac.
