Last month, Molly Nilsson released “How Much Is The World”, the first single from her upcoming album Amateur, out October 10 via Dark Skies Association and Night School Records.

The song is a bold and haunting number that asks what value we place on the world around us. With its pulsing synths and Molly’s unmistakable voice, it sets the tone for an album that celebrates imperfection, passion and the joy of living and creating without fear of mistakes. It is out along with a music video she created herself.

Nilsson also explains that the album is called Amateur because she embraces the original meaning of the word, as a lover or admirer, rather than its modern sense of inexperience. She sees “amateurism” as a joyful, rebellious refusal to chase mastery or societal expectations, celebrating the freedom to love, experiment, fail, and have fun. The album reflects this spirit: a dedication to passion and imperfection, doing things fully and unapologetically, just for the love of it.

Back in October, Molly Nilsson announced she was returning with a new album called Extreme via Dark Skies Association / Night School Records.

So far we have heard several tracks from it, and now ahead of the record arriving this Saturday, Swedish singer-songwriter shared one more preview of the album, breathtaking and hazy “Sweet Smell of Success”. The song has very loud and awesome guitars and is also presented with a beautiful and poetic video directed by Martin Falck, on which the musician goes on a quest against the entire empire.

[album] Fine Place – This New Heaven

There is beauty in darkness, and This New Heaven by Fine Place is a great example of that.

It is a new project of Frankie Rose (Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls) and Matthew Hord (Running, Pop. 1280, Brandy), and together they created a fantastic LP, on which they have recreated the atmosphere of the New York during pandemic after all the wealthy residents left the city.

They succeeded in their task and all the songs here are fantastic and moody pieces, carefully framed with cold, icy synthesizers, tight post-punk arrangements and delicate, distinctive vocals. Listening to This New Heaven gets you somewhere totally outside of this world and with every listen it immerses you more and more.
