MOLASS – Heaviness & Hopes

Out Friday May 5th, ‘Heaviness & Hopes’ is the new EP from the Cologne, Germany-based band MOLASS (Marissa Möller, Jan Lammert, Lambert Windges and Julian Schwiebert). The result of 6 years working and growing together, ‘Heaviness & Hopes’ is dealing with failure and the recurring attempt to overcome it as an acceptance of freedom and the resulting relief.

The timbre of the music shifts between modern Neo Soul sounds and old-fashioned Psychedelic Rock vibes, inspired by artists such as ‚The Alan Parsons Project‘, ‚David Bowie‘ as well as ‚Hiatus Kaiyote‘. The featured strings section highlights the epic dimension of the music and the lyrics.
