Described as “one of the best places to live in the UK” by the Sunday Times, Norwich is also very instrumental to this very article. You see, in its eclectic and quiet street, Molly Willis was able to grow artistically, developing a unique and charming musical style that’s frankly one of the freshest projects we have heard this month. Imagine a soothing sea of melancholia and nostalgia, delivered with alt-folk and retro attitude. Then, imagine vocals so good and immersive to be able to catch your attention from the first note.
Drenched in spacious reverb and a sort of ethereal goo, Willis’ voice tone feels quite anthemic, almost celebrative, if not spiritual. There’s a touch of psychedelia, especially in the sleazy and fuzzy guitars that bless the track from time to time. We just described to you ‘Hypocentre’, Molly’s latest effort. Her first record to be released this year, we are glad to see Willis return, raising the stakes of her artistry.
‘Hypocentre’ gets given an accompanying video, crafted by Willis and collaborator Kerry Curl. it features short-story video clips that repeat on a loop. Speaking about it, Molly explains: “There is a continuous narrative between the video loops. I wrote Escape Routes, Hypocentre and the other songs in this project during lockdown, and I wanted the visuals to capture that sense of being trapped and going a little crazy as much as the music does.”
