Photo-ops – Austin Town Hall

Have Another Photo Ops Tune

July 23, 2020 RayRay Leave a comment

Our old Texas friend Terry Price, now based in Los Angeles, has clearly been putting a lot of heart and soul into his new release Pure at Heart under his Photo Ops moniker. Already we heard the upbeat number “Play On” from the upcoming album, and now we have been treated to this more ballad style tune called “Take the Long Way”. For me, the guitar work is absolutely superb on this song as it plays well with the quiet, hushed delivery of Price’s vocals. The addition of some light drums and expertly placed piano work combine with Price’s guitar work and vocals to create a truly memorable piece of folk music.

Pure at Heart will drop on September 18th via Western Vinyl.

Photo Ops Announce Pure at Heart

June 17, 2020 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Always one of our favorite local Austin labels, Western Vinyl have just added Photo Ops to their roster…and announced the release of Pure at Heart. Terry Price is the songwriter behind the project, originally from Texas, he’s bounced his way through Nashville and now on to LA. “Play On” is an optimistic and energetic tune, an ode to what Price calls “the power pop side of my vision for the record.” It definitely has that natural bounce to it, and the thematic view is that despite the “strange times” we can kind of push forward and hopefully find some positivity on the horizon; its okay to feel shitty, but with music we get a little bit of light…so I hope. Pure at Heart is out on September 18th.

Beautiful New Track From Photo Ops

June 26, 2019 RayRay Leave a comment

The sun is out today, the weather is cooler than normal and it’s a perfect day for a sunny, breezy pop song! My man Terry Price, who records under the moniker Photo Ops, is providing the perfect summer tune today with his new track “Time For an Innocent Song”. It’s a lovely bit of music which catches your attention with a little acoustic ditty as it slowly builds into hazy pop number with hushed vocals and perfectly timed drums. It’s equal parts Fruit Bats mixed with CSNY and little touch of pop sensibilities. Check it out now.

Photo Ops will release a new album entitled Pure at Heart sometime later this year.

Show Preview & Interview: Photo-Ops with Tracyanne & Danny at 3TEN ACL Live 2/8

February 7, 2019 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Friday night has some great options for you this weekend here in the ATX, and while it’s going to be a bit chilly out, I’ve got the perfect show to keep you nice and warm. Tracyanne & Danny are bringing along Photo-Ops to 3TEN ACL Live for a night of indie pop that is bound to dispel all bad vibes from the cold front. Opener Photo-Ops dropped a killer single that I shared with you last week, and has new materials in the works that are all sunshine. Tracyanne (of Camera Obscura) & Danny put out a killer record last year that checks the box of bedroom pop with stunning vocals and a little bit of bluegrass-ish swagger to it. You can buy pretty cheap tickets here, which I suggest you do, as it’s gonna be a great evening. Terry Price, the man behind Photo-Ops, obliged us to give us some brief answers to some random questions. Tunes and interview are after the jump!

Bright and Sunny Indie Rock For Friday From Photo-Ops

February 1, 2019 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

Most of the country is cold and frozen, but in the ATX all we have is a little bit of gray skies and some rain on this Friday. Wherever you may be, we’re getting to that stretch of winter where we’re itching for March, ready to shed those jackets and get out in the sunshine. We are pretty blessed in Austin to get to experience that year round, but until it’s bright and shiny again here, I’m going to just push repeat on this track from Photo-Ops, as it’s almost four minutes of pure bliss. Photo-Ops is the moniker LA based singer/songwriter, Terry Price, who has been making alt-folk tunes for some time now. The biggest change in this new sound is the pivot to rock and Price’s vocals are like a splash of cold water on a hot day in, well, July. It’s difficult not to be drawn back to this track over and over, so give into the warmth and jam right along.

We in Austin are lucky, as Photo-Ops will be making their way to 3Ten ACL Live to play alongside Tracyanne and Danny, so get ready to boogie with them on Feb 8.
