Follow by Molly Maher
What do you follow? How did you find yourself here? You can follow signs, leads/ers, the sun, idols, guts, angels, hearts, paths. I followed melodies and made this. It found you.
"Follow"; years in the making, fearful of moving at glacial pace JT Bates reminded her that "Dude, glaciers are unstoppable". Inspired by Latin Playboys, Calexico , bus rides and records that make you want to take the long way home. Players on "Follow" include Erik Koskinen, Todd Clouser, Noah Levy, JT Bates, Chris Bates, James Anton, Gabriela Sweet, Josh Gravelin, Paul Bergen, James Tyler O'Neill, Anastasia Ellis, Krissy Bergmark , and Iraida Noriega.
"Molly Maher has done it. She combines simplicity and heartfelt melody and creates something that is equally haunting and hypnotic. I can't stop listening. Bravo! "
Louie Perez of Los Lobos
"“Follow” is an alluringly organic, relaxed album that sounds like skilled musicians grooving together on a street in Mexico — and someone pressed “Record.”" Jon Bream/Star and Tribune
"Follow.... is embodied, threadbare, bold and refined. I find it as full of breath as any other living creature I have encountered out in the world. Its aliveness is a gift. To have music woven of so many threads, channeled onto the ferociously forked road that culture has found itself, provides some mist, some dust, to fragment the sun into magic, helping to reveal new paths through the tumult. Most importantly paths followed in imagination. " BEN WEAVER is a songwriter, poet, bicycle advocate
