The Mollies

'Yours Around the Rosies'

For fans of: Ditty Bops, Joanna Newsom
www.myspace.com/themolliesmusic

The Mollies may sound sweet, but beware, they are secretly little sirens. With their gorgeous voices, Becky Jean Williams and Vivian Smith carefully lure sleepy sailors into deadly waters.

The vocals on "Yours Around the Rosies" are nicely complemented by acoustic guitar, bass, and hints of violin, cello, and ukulele. Though the album has an overall folk-y feel, the songs range from soda jerk ditties like "Float My Boat" to the ghostly "Costume" with its haunting strings.

The stylistic changes are held together nicely by Williams' clever lyrics. "If we sink we die/If we float, we're dead/Witches under water holding our breath." Witches or no, these sirens will suck you in.

the link sends you to a letter to the editor instead of the article. Also, if you make it a hyperlink then you will improve your google rating.
