Twin Moons, the Crude Molosser

I have a number of reasons to dislike this. I will explain them and you know how the format goes I will finish by gushing with praise. Fuck me, 2023 is turning into a good year, already I have THREE songs that in normal years would be fighting to be my song of the year.

Molosser I have liked before. I think one of the first reviews I did after I gave up on photocopying my fanzine and trying to sell it in venues and I went to the world of the internet, was Molosser. I have been clinically dead twice since then. Possibly it happened. It was early. I loved the tenderness and the violence of their music. Seductive and dangerous. It is easy to drop pairs of words together in English and make yourself sound clever. Artful and innocent. Tuneful and dissonant. They wereall those things. I also remember saying that I wanted to hear a whole new album exploring their ideas and their direction. So I have a reason to dislike Molosser Crude, because this is precisely the band not following through in the way that I, the listener demanded.

But that is what real artists do. Fuck me, my opinion is worth nothing.

I have another reason. I dislike cliches. I dislike repeating things that have gone before that were mightier, fuller, more novel, more inspired. Music is not like carpentry. We do not simply get better at it with every year. Music leaps. It reboots. It reignites. Could Molosser Crude be a cliche? Well we have beautifully detuned guitars, doing the work of three instruments in one. We have beat-perfect drumming that relives so many of the very best grunge moments of the last 15 years. We have vocals that burn and soar. Haven't we heard this before? Isn't this just a two-person version of many bands that walked the same pavement?

I don't think it is. There may be elements of homage. Of love for a form. But this is original.

The songwriting, the story, the interplay are still there in Molosser Crude. They are repackaged in a form that is probably more instant and approachable in a highly competitive space. Perhaps people that hear this will wonder and will come to adore the subtlety of their acoustic work. But that does not matter because this song is absolutely brilliant on every level by itself.

If I think of this band as a new band I have never heard before, I love this.

That is enough. Molosser Crude owe us nothing. They have made a song that is beautifully structured, sounds incredible, bursts with humanity, captures the imagination and is infused with tradition in a genre without being a slave to it.

Bravo.

Molosser Crude - Twin Moons

Recently, going through Joyzine submissions, nothing has really drawn my attention too much, much of it was just fine, but nothing struck me down. A few emails got neglected for a few weeks, then a spare moment came along. It started the same way, but then for the first time in a while, I opened a link and straight away I was drawn in. This wasMolosser Crudeand the single ‘Twin Moons’.

The track has a fantastic dirty, bluesy bass line that gets stuck in your head as soon as you hear it. Then to top it off, drummer and singer Tess comes in, with gorgeous, powerful vocals that complete this belter of a track. It’s hard to believe that ‘Twin Moons’ is created by a duo rather than a larger piece band.

The band are from Sweden, and are an electric offshoot of acoustic band Molosser. The ‘crude’ part of their name is a good way to describe their electric incarnation. The set up is simple, a duo who manage to fill their room with their sound, two guitar amps, a bass amp and e-drums that get bashed just as hard as ‘real’ drums. They’ve named their sound as ‘hardcore stoner blues’

Whatever label you want to give them, I’m definitely loving what I’ve heard so far and excited to hear more from this vibrant new band. Molosser/ Molosser Crude, are the first of my bands to watch this year, as I’m sure we are going to be hearing much more from them.

Molosser Crude - Pushing my Way

The usual Swedish stone-grinding power stations were those Volvo knick-dumpers which work on huge constructions, keeping their path through no matter what kind of ground and landscape, crushing all the layers of soil and stone below their huge wheels. So this the musical transfer of the sheer power of Volvo knick-dumpers. Groovy, heavy and melodic with a fantastic powerful female voice which is quite rarein the Stoner community. Six minutes of unpredictable good music. A tasty appetizer for their upcoming shows and their new record.

"Six minutes of unpredictable good music."

Izzy the Gent has written about Molosser CRUDE. Since it's a short, sweet story and located on Instagram we'll print the whole shebang:

Molosser is always evolving, always pushing their creativity. Changing up like a southpaw, we are hit with a left hook as Tess gets behind the drums. Her drumming is emotional. One feels the hits, the subtle pauses between beats. It's truly exemplary.
Her vocals have always reminded me of Alice In Chains. Now with the addition of live drums and a single distorted guitar, they carve themselves another lane.
Molosser Crude is to me a mix of The White Stripes, Alice In Chains and a little Alanis Morissette.
