Style: Americana, Folk, Psychedelia
We love singer-guitarist Molly Hanmer’s snarling, distorted guitar and how it plays with her songs’ vintage, swirling organ parts. Its impact is immediate on “Get Loose” where she and her band emit a super-cool blues-rock swagger. The only thing the song lacks is a climax where Hanmer leaves her voice’s comfort zone and really drives it home. Another excellent riff propels “Sick of Me” where she and her band generate a high-speed gallop. Again, however, Hanmer’s voice seems restricted. We love the slow-burning organ and the drum rolls on “Hard Days Work” with vocal blends that enhance her voice in this dirge-like song. Still, we sincerely urge this talented L.A.- based artist to work to achieve a vocal breakthrough.
