Molly is an artist from Virginia who recently released Slightly Singed. She is just getting her start at eighteen years of age but displays a lot of potential on this demo quality release. This is a clear cut case of a talented artist who needs to work with a professional producer/engineer sooner than later. She has a great voice which is buried underneath the lo-fi recording.
Up first is “Medusa” that paints the mood for the music which is haunting and atmospheric. I liked the vibe a lot and it reminded me of Mazzy Star. The vocals shine but the extended instrumental felt a bit unnecessary. “End of the Line” is a little more upbeat and festive. Her vocals are again very well delivered but unfortunately don’t get their due because of the recording quality. Up next is “Secondhand Smoke” which also contains a number of catchy hooks while “Bad Choices” felt like a single worthy song that had more of a radio friendly quality to it. The EP closes with another highlight entitled “Letter to the Editor.” Slightly Singed builds a solid foundation for Molly and at the very least showcases she has a good voice with a good supporting band. The songs were simple but well written and it seems like the band is just at the beginning of their development. Molly is an artist to keep your ears on. As long as the band pursues a more professional sounding release and continue to refine their skill they should be in good shape.
