Listening to “There Lies My Love” by Molly Beanland conjures visions of the singer walking through an environment of glowing white walls and staircases made of clouds and sunlight. There is a cool quality to her voice but a warm tone to the song and her drawn out notes sound like she’s singing out into a void to reach someone she knows has to be out there but is out of sight. The interplay of vocal styles and tones suggest a versatility mirrored by DJ Distance’s rich production with voice, synth and rhythm working synergistically to accent and buoy each other in transporting the listener to an elevated realm of emotion even though we discover the song has a twinge of melancholy in taking a risk at opening the soft insides of your heart to another. An obvious touchstone to this track would be late 80s and early 90s Cocteau Twins but also the similarly affecting and deeply atmospheric music of Them Are Us Too and Kennedy Ashlyn’s solo work as SRSQ. Listen to “There Lies My Love” on Soundcloud where you can follow Molly Bealand’s worth further including her 2019 EP In the Blue Forever.
