Joseph the Worker paints a dreamy decline with “Molly Mayhem”

Honk Magazine

The latest single from Chicago band Joseph the Worker, “Molly Mayhem,” comes not with a bang but with a quiet intensity that takes hold of you, working its way into your bones similar to the frozen lakefront it sonically conjures. This track sounds like a confession being whispered from behind a cracked door. Tacking along after a fleeting line in an Alvvays song, ‘Hey,’ “Molly Mayhem” makes an entire story out of the small observation. Joseph speculates what receiving mayhem on the other end of the line must be like.

This is a gentle spiral, a ghostly human look at the evolving relationship between an obsession, a passion, and a set of matching scars. Molly is an embodiment of the storm. It’s poetry, but also profoundly personal, Joseph notes that she’s standing in for his own life experience. “Molly Mayhem” is a lesson in the dynamic interplay of tension and relief. The acoustic guitar sets an intimate and raw foundation, and the bass and drums provide gentle forward motion without distracting from the quiet intensity at the heart of the track.

There’s something undeniably cinematic about “Molly Mayhem.” It doesn’t require your attention, it invites it softly. You’re entering into a memory, a bittersweet loop that plays if you listen from just beneath the skin. Joseph the Worker may tap indie and shoegaze traditions, but what distinguishes “Molly Mayhem” is its emotional specificity and the way it can take a mere shard of a lyric and spin it into a full-bodied moment of feeling and reflection. It’s not so much a song as a door half-cracked, and we’re all standing just on the other side.

Monkey Meadows shifts gears through motion and memory on latest release “Red Car”

Monkey Meadows

Monkey Meadows captures the quiet, thoughtful tension that comes with change on new single “Red Car.” The steady beat and warm bass line make it impossible to stop. It flows naturally, leaving room for the long, winding vocal parts that give the piece its base. Monkey Meadows creates a deep sense of closeness by combining sound elements that feel like a conversation in the soft twilight light.

The music makes you feel things that are hard to put into words but very powerful. “Red Car” is great at showing motion without a clear goal. It is a piece that celebrates the beauty of seeing what we can’t see, moments, relationships, and feelings that come and go, while everything else around us changes.

The indie pop structure might make people sway to the beat, and the song’s subtle sadness about distance and change might be felt throughout. This release proves that Monkey Meadows can make music that is both big and personal by looking inside themselves. “Red Car” is more than just a song, it’s a powerful reflection and a soundtrack for when life goes on, but we stay the same inside.
