We have been supporters of the Dutch Trio since their cracking self titled debut album in 2022. That album was in our Best 100 Albums Of 2022 (Review). We also reviewed the follow up EP from last year. High Tide (Review). Now we reach the band's third release.
Secret Molecules offer up great Pop Rock, but unlike most of trios that we cover, the instrumental make up side of the songs includes Organ and Brass. Songs are incredibly melodic and catchy, perhaps a little more mellow than you see / hear here at times.
Thus EP does sound more Pop than Rock. The title track flirts a little with Country, which has always been in their armour, but is a fine Pop Song with a hypnotic keyboard riff and adds Psych Pop trumpets. Take It Easy moves at a brisker pace, strumming along with a fine twang.
Carol Kaye is a little Caper Clowns with a strutting verse and a crackerjack of a chorus that is totally memorable. The stand out though is the wonderful Dream Little Lies which gets more than a little Power Pop and adds a wonderful Organ instrumental run and an unexpected Guitar solo.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
