Pay Attention. Because if you're going to harness decades old sounds and regurgitate them as your own, then you need to put in the work required to make them your own. That's what THE MOLDS have done. Airy '80s indie/alt as a base, and then they...well, they make it theirs. Beats are weird, guitars feel like they are descending from all directions at the same, and moments like the chorus in "Bad One" sound like lost nuggets from the 120 Minutes era of primitive late night cable TV alt discovery. Like, even though it's on the internet for anyone to see and hear and have, THE MOLDS make themselves belong to you as you listen to them - it's a rare feat, and not an easy one.
