Welk's Mice - Buffalo, NY
Welks Mice, Buffalo’s premier vibraphone and vocal DIY pop duo, is back with their long awaited sophomore effort “BLUB BLUB”. Released 10/19/24 on Peterwalkee Records, songwriter Max Weiss (he/him) and vibraphonist Andre Welks-Fabretti (they/them) deliver an 8-song EP exploring themes of openness, positivity, and hope. The anxious and incessant edges of the duo’s debut album “Songs in C” give way to softer song forms while maintaining their signature stark and minimalist pop aesthetic that keeps Max’s lyrics central for the listener.
Aiding the band this time around is engineer/producer/patient-angel Derick Evans (he/him) who meticulously captured and refined the duo’s first ever digital recordings. Alongside a sprinkling of cello by Katie Wiessman (she/her), Derick also contributes the electric guitar and bass heard here and there.
After nearly 6 years since beginning this effort, an interim filled with pandemic and lockdown, babies and marriage, growth, turmoil, equipment malfunction, enduring friendship, and some brutal self-editing that left several fully recorded songs on the cutting room floor, Welks Mice proudly and lovingly present “BLUB BLUB”. Enjoy!
