Molly Rose draws intricate landscapes of narrative poetry. Her music is as driven by the intrinsic rythms of her words as by whatever nameless muse guides her. There's nothing conventional about her songs, but she's hardly a weirdo folksinger. She's just a lovely songwriter, and if you're ready to listen closely, you wont be disappointed.

in the words of our own Karla Starr, Molly Rose "lulls you into a pleasure coma" with single-string plucks and a cracked-bell voice.

(Molly Rose) has got her acoustic singer/songwriter sound dialed in, strummed rhythm, string squeak, and an incredibly dynamic voice, with overtones that make a single line sound both about ready to cry and cry out. Her lyrics are a poetry of secret observations -- you have to listen closely, and she rarely sacrifices depth for a hook. More often, when it comes to the expected chorus, she modulates and the song heads off for new pastures. Her EP is My Skin, Your Bones. Man, we could listen to this stuff all day. We just might.
hey there! i said some funny stuff about you in an interview i did with kim / sound about the mid-mountain-west to seattle transition et cetera. it is here.
molly it was nice to meet you and to hear your sing so lovely. thank you for playing with karli and i and i hope again that we will see one another soon.
