Song(s) of the Day # 1,670 Tony Molina


Tony Molina's new record Kill the Lights is as simple as pie.Ten tracks, most of them lasting between a minute and two, just a couple actually stretching between two and three. The whole record lasts less than fifteen minutes in total! And every song works on the basic sonic formula which The Beatles kicked off between '63 and '65, The Byrds refined between '65 and '67 and various artists like Nilsson, Big Star, Teenage Fanclub and so on and so forth, have tinkered with thereafter.



So no re-invention of the wheel taking place here then. No recognition that Punk ever existed. Just a set of perfectly crafted songs focused lyrically, (as you'd expect), around the trials of love. Your mother would know!
