MOLASSESS

“MAKING THIS ALBUM was very painful at times – but with everything in life you need to have pain, friction, darkness, in order to move on and come out the other side. We had to make this album: it was a necessity.”

As Molassess’ singer Farida Lemouchi reveals, the journey the band have made to release their debut, has been one paved by grief, chaos, letting go and starting anew. You can feel their catharsis pulsing through the album – an all-consuming sonic journey with kaleidoscopic echoes of 60s psych à la Jefferson Airplane mixed with lush, exploratory prog and otherworldly, trance-inducing sounds that are as rich and dense as their band name, all led by Lemouchi’s powerful vocals.
