Chop Suey Presens: Lily Seabird and Thomas Dollbaum on Monday, August 4thSince 2023, Lily Seabirds life has been in perpetual motion, spending nearly half of that time on the road performing her own music and as a touring bassist. While she thrives in transit, back home she is anchored by Trash Mountain, a pink house surrounded by other artists situated on a decommissioned landfill site at the back of Burlingtons Old North End. Here, Seabird has found belonging, friendship, and inspiration. Its a place that hosts artists, puts on shows, and has been passed along in her friend group for the better part of the decade. Its a symbol of transition and stability: something always evolving and growing but never losing its soul. Its only fitting that Seabird named her new album Trash Mountain, as it also contains its namesakes qualities. Over nine delicate but sturdy tracks of intimate folk rock, she pares her songwriting down to its most resonant essentials. Its an album of unwelcome exits and uncertain futures, but theres resiliency and hope at its core.-- Thomas Dollbaum is a musician and songwriter from Tampa, Florida. In 2015, Dollbaum began attending University of New Orleans for his masters in poetrywhile in the city, he began writing the songs that eventually became Wellswood, his debut album. Since its release in 2022 by Fat Possum subsidiary Big Legal Mess (AllMusic said he paints the bleakest pictures with a knowing grin, delivering lyrics of rough-living characters and their grim stories as gorgeous, softly glowing Americana), Dollbaum has toured heavily, sharing stages with folks like Damien Jurardo, Dougie Poole, and Superwolves.Dollbaum has accumulated a number of new songs since Wellswood, including the December double single Do Me a Kindness / Fate of Flight. Rolling Stone was enamored by Dollbaums set at SXSW last month, calling his songs deeply felt Southern rock anthems with the feel of classics you just havent heard yet. Dollbaum will be joined by a full band.
