Tony Molina paints 'In the Fade' with every color in his palette. Read pscottrussell's review:
’s foremost Ovens throwbacks are paired at the center of the album: “Song for Friends ” updates “Headache” from Ovens’ self-titled 2009 compilation album, while “Ovens Theme Pt. 4” continues a series of instrumental interludes that began on. The songs share a soft touch, as if Molina is observing that he hasn’t outgrown these sounds, per se—they’ve been part of his sonic DNA for over a decade, and will continue to be.
The album’s cheeriest track sidesteps trouble, rather than confronting it: “After all your problems and you’ve still got them / Still today / Leave behind your worries in the fade,” he croons over acoustic strums and banging piano. But on the pivotal one-two punch of “Four Sided Cell” and “Years Ago Pt. 2,” Molina reckons directly with isolation, loneliness and helplessness, which culminates in an epiphany: “Come to find out nothing’s up to me.
“Leave This Town” starts out sparse, then explodes, its buzzing guitar chords all the more satisfying for their gradual ramp-up, as well as the ideal complement to Molina’s pop-punk-tinged singing and lyrics. “All I’ve Known” is one of the album’s most undeniable melodies, while “Don’t Be Far” finds Molina in “
” mode, with his The Lost Days bandmate Sarah Rose Janko’s backing vocals—the first to appear on a Molina solo album—reinforcing the song’s longing lyricism. And though lovers of electric fuzz may find thattoo closely by giving more space to acoustic quiet—as presaged, also, by Molina and Janko’s 2021 Lost Days EP,Molina’s art, like any, is an effort to be understood.
