Flying Away (LP)
Jon Muq
Amoeba Review
The debut album by Uganda-born, Austin-based artist Jon Muq is a strong set of soulful tunes with catchy melodies. His sensitive vocals are matched by moody basslines and gently building arrangements on the excellent first two tracks, "Runaway" and "One You Love." Muq segues into accessible folk-pop later with songs like "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying" and "Hello Sunshine." "Dark Door" is a pretty ballad highlighted by a soulful vocal performance.
