Wind Chains by Molly Zenobia (Review)

Molly Zenobia is by turns surspising, scary, and intricate. Her voice slices her piano-based songs into little pieces with surgical precision. She plays her instrument of choice like she was born to do it.

Ghostly moans and water splashes adorn the frosty “Mermaids.” She makes her snakelike whisper resonate on “Silent Spring.” Zenobia shares a few traits with the reigning queen of the piano, Tori Amos, but the style is all her own.

If Wind Chains had a color it would be an icy blue with pitch black highlights. The music on it is slow, with a lot of feeling and enough twists and turns to make it challenging.

Zenobia takes you down the tunnels of her mind and it’s a rollercoaster ride. She is a natural born chiller. If gothic music lived up to it’s name this is what it would sound like.
