out there 02:02
the roars and rows and things they boast are lacking in this scene i wouldn't mind to be up there with all the things you're seeing with all the blind policemen, folks are driving in between out there the roads and doors, a dream that goes before it's really seen i wouldn't mind to live up there with people that you're being and all your lies are speechless ghosts they're crying in the street out there

about

"There are more ideas successfully packed into “Molly’s at the Laundromat” than most acts can manage over the course of their first few records. Urgent songwriting at its absolute finest, it’s a track that fills the usual void between immediacy, accessibility, and substance with an astounding amount of grace. Easily a high watermark for Ogurtsov (who recorded the entire thing on his lonesome), “Molly’s at the Laundromat” is an extremely tantalizing look at not just Virgin Blues but the project’s promising future." - Heartbreaking Bravery


"17 melodious and warm pop songs that you can never grow tired of, if only due to the richness and variety of arrangements and a non-standard approach to the structures of songs that are born within one small idea, and only then intuitively spread into a myriad of new small and interesting ideas. Performed and written with genuine sincerity - a quality which sometimes for me overshadows all sorts of musical roughness. " - Detective Kane
