MOLLY (Austria / Sonic Cathedral) — LIVE!

Austrian duo MOLLY returns with their second album, Picturesque, released on vinyl, CD and digitally via Sonic Cathedral on January 13, 2023.

The album’s seemingly brief tracklisting belies a work of great beauty and depth, and one which turned into a one-man crusade for singer/guitarist Lars Andersson, intertwining deeply personal stories with his love for the era of Romanticism.

“Every time I go to a museum and I’m about to pass through the era of Romanticism I stop in awe,” says Lars of the enduring appeal of the 18th century artistic movement. “Whatever it is – stories, paintings, music – it triggers something deep within me, something profoundly human. It really hits a nerve, and it utterly immerses me to a point where I can’t move.”

The album replicates this feeling; a gloriously over-the-top blend of Slowdive and Sigur Rós, mixed with the single-mindedness of Daniel Johnston and the noisiness of Nirvana, it’s as bold and beautiful and every bit as ornate as the art that inspired it.

Never more so than on the first single, ‘The Golden Age’, which is the album’s centre-piece, a soaring slice of über-shoegaze that is so stunning you can’t take your eyes or ears off it.
