Consider this your invitation to Café Molly, a lounge bar like they don’t make them anymore. The lights are low, the martinis are ice cold, the banquettes are velvet, and the stage is set for the electrifying talent of whistler Molly Lewis. Molly’s soft-focus cocktail music conjures up visions of classic Hollywood jazz clubs, Italian cinema soundtracks and lingering embraces between lovers.
After the exotica stylings of The Forgotten Edge EP and the tropicalia-indebted Mirage EP, Molly wanted to encapsulate the sound of Café Molly for her debut album On The Lips, a dreamy tribute to classic mood music. That spellbinding sound, which usually comes to life in Los Angeles, has also popped up in Mexico City dancehalls, graced the runways of Paris and London Fashion Weeks, and made a magical appearance at a children’s fairyland.
On The Lips was recorded with producer Thomas Brenneck of the Menahan Street Band, Budos Band, Dap-Kings and El Michels Affair, at his newly-built Diamond West Studios in Pasadena. The pair bonded over the work of 1960s soundtrack composers Alessandro Alessandroni and Piero Piccioni, and, with something of an open door policy during the sessions, a stream of acclaimed musicians ended up across the album’s 10 tracks.Ltd LP is Limited Candlelight Gold vinyl.

TREANNE
PLEASE
Hailing from Kansas City Missouri, 21 year old singer songwriter Treanne is a force to be reckoned with. Her soft soulful voice sounds way beyond her years on ‘Please’, a track she’s been teasing on TikTok. “When i wrote Please, i didn’t know i needed it. The words came spewing out of me and it became this body of work that represented me not wanting to be controlled by my past life, love and feelings. It’s the reminder to myself that i’m allow to move on, while working on my bad habits.”
