Brimming with the purposely freed-of-care melody brought to life by artists like The Small Faces, John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, The Zombies and The Left Banke, the heaped harmonies, bright acoustic guitar and peppy percussion radiates a breezy, welcome warmth. MOLLOY says: \u201cIt came dead quick; it was loads of fun and a real buzz to write. My girlfriend wears dungarees a lot and it was an off-the-cuff thing, she opened her drawer and just said \u2018it\u2019s a dungaree day today\u2019 and it just rushed to me as a song. It opens with the alarm clock as you\u2019re waking up to a new day from a nightmare, triggered by the previous track on the album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day.jpg 511w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Dungaree-Day-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Normally, and by nature, a team player\u00a0 having also played in legendary Liverpool bands, The Zutons, The Stands and formed The Big House with Candie Payne, MOLLOY&#8217;S road to <em>The Fifth Dandelion<\/em>, an album that bears only his name, meanders through his whole songwriting career, it\u2019s completion a triumph of determination in the face of adversity and interruption. Over two years, spanning a period of heavy touring and book-ended by the deaths of his mother and father, the multi-instrumentalist songwriter took a creative journey into himself, around those he loved and the literature in which he finds solace and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>The Fifth Dandelion is \u2018where midnight movies come alive, French horns silhouette the ghouls of forgotten empires, broken bayou river boats murmur Marie Laveau\u2019s name in the still of night. Wild Bill Hicock arm-wrestling Davy Jones in the Jolly Roger.\u201d says MOLLOY. PAUL MOLLOY&#8217;S comforting, folk-tale lyricism tips a black, wide-brimmed Fedora to great storytellers like Ray Davies, Steve Marriot and Ronnie Lane owes just as much to the dark literary greats of Lovecraft and Poe, light and dark in perfect balance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3987\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/MOLLOY-NEW.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/MOLLOY-NEW.jpg 902w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/MOLLOY-NEW-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/MOLLOY-NEW-768x534.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through a recording process that started at home on an old tape machine, MOLLOY also recorded at Coral Caves, where Ian Skelly (The Coral, The Serpent Power) applied drums, and former-Coral member, Bill Ryder-Jones\u2019 Yawn Studios in West Kirby, the album found MOLLOY on a journey into his own capabilities as a producer. Toying with sound across strings, brass, diverse percussion techniques and reversed recordings, the artist strived for a distinct, baroque, \u2018British speakeasy\u2019 feel, grafting brooding David Lynch-style darkness to sequin-studded opulence, all within a labyrinth of fact and fiction.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3989\"
