Non Exclsuive LP (Yelllow Vinyl)

The Travels represents a signpost in the continuing journey that is the songs of Berlin-based artist
Molly Nilsson.
Starting out by hand-dubbing CDrs and forging a singular path in the global pop underground, Nilsson’s
art has grown to the extent where hers is a precise songwriting devoid of unnecessary flourish. Her songs
are perfect silhouettes of feelings everyone shares but that few can articulate with such heart-rending, icy
pathos.
Journeys offer change - the possibility of renewal - and accordingly on The Travels Molly Nilsson’s
resonant voice is found curling around a new sense of optimism and wide-eyed discovery that was only
alluded to in her previous work. Songs like “Dear Life” might be spiked with a barbed sense of the
dejected, but the presiding feeling is one of optimism, of being in love with life despite a shield of
cynicism. “Dirty Fingers” brings a melancholy recognisable from previous work but with an incessant beat
and ecstatic underpinning it becomes apparent that a new force is at play here. In case the listener
missed it, “The Power Ballad” brings an endearing, sincerity to proceedings that also offers a tantalising
question: can you be sceptical about love but still be bewitched?
On her 5th long-player, Nilsson’s perspective is challenged and manipulated by changes in
environment and psychological space: like any other traveller the protagonist brings their own set of
values and emotional states to new places, colouring them with a wash of subjectivity. Like any other
traveller Molly Nilsson reacts to her environment and shares her unique version of it to other people.
Based loosely on Marco Polo’s “Travels” and reading like a map of the protagonist’s geographical and
inner journey, The Travels reveals new places and new emotions that are never the same to the
beholder. Nilsson’s art is in turning this subjectivity into a cloak that almost anyone can don for the trip More
