Tony Molina – On This Day L.P.
In stock
$22.00
Tony Molina has been putting out records with marked consistency for well over twenty years. Underpinned by an unwavering ethos of independence and an unrelenting devotion to songcraft, his music ties together a passion for the history and tradition of song writing/production with a steadfast work ethic and an uncanny ability to exemplify and transcend those inspirations. “On This Day” might be the most Tony Molina album yet – an achingly beautiful set of 21 songs that feels like a choice selection of lost singles (or deep cuts). The album was produced and recorded by Tony and Alicia Vanden Heuvel (The Aislers Set) to 8 track ½” analog tape in their San Francisco home studio. The album was augmented by contributions from live bandmates Rachel Orimo (vocals), Stephen Oriolo (guitar), and Steve Kerwin (drums), as well as long-time friend (and Ladybug Transistor founder) Gary Olson on trumpet. An unhurried home recording process gave them plenty of time to experiment and hone the arrangements, adding Mellotron, piano, organ, mellotron, bells, trumpet and more to exquisite effect. Timeless folk/rock gems alternate seamlessly with straight-up acoustic folk tunes, intricate classical guitar interludes and baroque/soft-pop delicacies. This is an album in the truest sense – a cycle of songs linked by mood, melody, hook and purpose, and not by accident it’s Tony’s finest yet.
