3 Feet High & Rising: West Texas Indie Pop Quartet Free Organs Share Debut Single "Happy Goodbyes" (Art Music Grp)
Free Organs formed out of the blistering heat of West Texas in 2022. Molly Jones, Adrian Silva, Ace Perdon & Garrett "Mott" Mott found each other in-between visits to majestic coffee shops and poorly-ventilated garages. Free Organs' first single, "Happy Goodbyes," was released on October 28, 2022. It was written and recorded in Silva's living room over the span of a two-month period. Free Organs can be found on craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or at a local hospital, as well as this handy-dandy one-stop-shop mega-link. Within the facets of Free Organs, Jones provides vocals, guitar, and song-writing, Silva supplies vocals, guitar, and recording techniques, Perdon contributes bass, piano, and synth orchestras, and Mott plays lead guitar.
Not long after Free Organs' initial formation in Abilene, Texas, Molly moved to the coast of Oregon and Mott is currently deployed overseas. Adrian & Ace are both currently still living in West Texas, but Adrian tells us he's soon moving to Seattle to start going to college. Silva was born and raised in South Jersey (and full disclosure) we've been friends and murual admirers of each other's work since about the mid-2000's. Silva has played in a bunch of bands since the age of 14, including A's Rage, Landis, Life Is Here, Safe Haven, Sleepyface, and most recently, his solo project, xdrian.
Prior to moving to the Oregon coast, Jones was born and raised in Texas and lived in various cities across the state whilst growing up. Free Organs is her first musical project, but Jones has been quietly making and creating music to share with small intimate groups of friends and within her Instagram Stories before meeting Adrian and joining the band. Perdon has lived in The Phillipines, as well as The Virgin Islands and Texas through high school. He played within his grade school's Jazz band and the marching band throughout high school. He's played an assortment of instruments in various church bands and is one of the members of an all-Filipino band, as well.
Mott was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas and currently resides in Abilene. Free Organs is Mott's first musical project and he looks forward to making more music with with Ace, Molly & Adrian. In addition to their first original song, "Happy Goodbyes," Free Organs have released their own unique covers of songs originally by Clairo, Shakey Graves, Vance Joy, Foster The People, EKKSTACY, and even Silva's own former band, Life Is Here. It sounds like whenever all four of Free Organs can get back in the same place at the same time (or even virtually,) they plan to write, record, and ultimately release more original music together. For now, though, Free Organs' "Happy Goodbyes" is available on streaming services, via Art Music Grp.
