David Thomas Jones

Jones’ love of all things music began when he played guitar for a pop-punk band in junior high. It wasn’t long before his curiosity led him from the path of two-chord mayhem to the music of Sebadoh, Sonic Youth, and Guided By Voices. In 2011, a chance encounter with producer James Jones (Love Inks, Hundred Visions, TV Torso, Hardproof Afrobeat) resulted In the recording of Jones’ first solo EP, Comfort Creatures. The result of writing and recording simultaneously is an eclectic set of tracks. Each song possesses its own personality, melding into a cohesive collection of sounds spanning from throwback pop-rock to indie folk. Although Jones plays most of the instruments on the album, he did find help from friends and fellow Austin musicians such as, Richard Galloway of Moonlight Towers, Nick Smith of Foot Patrol, Jenni Wieland of Minor Mishap Marching Band, and Caleb Polashek of Les RAV. After a tumultuous year of starts and stops, Comfort Creatures came to fruition in September 2012. Currently, Jones stays busy working on a new Watch Out For Rockets release. He also drums for acclaimed indie rockers The Murdocks, plays bass for orchestral avant-folk group Les RAV, as well as the psychedelic wizardry of Scan Hopper. Read more on Last.fm.
