Molly Lewis – The Forgotten Edge (Vinyl)
$50.00
Regular price $31.00With a childhood split between LA and rural Australia, Molly Lewis was introduced to the wonderful world of whistling by the 2005 documentary Pucker Up, which takes a deep dive into the extremely niche Louisburg international whistling competition. In 2012, she would attend the event herself, whistling in front of a crowd for the very first time.
But it wasn’t until the death of foremost spaghetti western whistler Alessandro Alessandroni that Lewis properly launched her career, hosting a tribute night where she performed the work of Ennio Morricone’s favourite collaborator. After that, Lewis would perform classic whistling material at her regular Cafe Molly nights across LA, but during last year’s lockdown she decided it was time to write some original songs.
It is this collection that forms the intoxicatingly retro The Forgotten Edge EP, named after the noir-ish, mysterious neighbourhood of LA where Lewis lives, its six tracks bring to mind the South Pacific lounge style of late-1950s exotica music: tiki bars, cigarette smoke and the vague suggestion of swinging.
Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM, EP
Tracklist:
A1 Oceanic Feeling
A2 Island Spell
A3 Balcony For Two
B1 The Forgotten Edge
B2 Satin Curtains
B3 Wind`s Lament
