Tony Molina
\nKill the Lights
\n<\/i>(Slumberland Records)
\n3.5\/5<\/p>\n

Kill the Lights<\/i> by California\u2019s Tony Molina is a callback to the late \u201960s and early \u201970s, when love was on everyone\u2019s mind and emotional, bard-like vocals were the popular sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Molina\u2019s complex musical arrangements and retro styling remind me of The Beatles\u2014the honest to God Beatles\u2014and his voice is quite comparable to John Lennon\u2019s and his lonely, sentimental melodies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each song on this album is around one minute long but, despite their brevity, each tells a story of love and loss that transitions beautifully into the next, creating a short but impactful listening experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the aim of this collection of songs was quality over quantity, mission accomplished. Molina has made it clear that he isn\u2019t afraid to create something groovy and different using his raw talent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a retro fan, this album is definitely worth checking out; Kill the Lights<\/i> is even available on vinyl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
