Mol Sullivan
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
A Little Hello is an apt title for Mol Sullivan’s new EP since it serves primarily as an introduction. Though she has been one of the Cincinnati music scene’s best-kept secrets since the early 2010s, this is her first proper studio release. The opener and title track is an appropriate how-do-you-do: a plucky piano-driven tune about taking a chance on love, with playful flutters of country guitar, some Feist-like bounce, and lithe, McCartney-Esque melodicism. A major surprise, though, comes in the form of an introspective bridge that reminiscences on past romantic dysfunction: “Tornadoes, what I was used to/But I never felt the breeze.” The contrast between sections makes the song a perfect microcosm of Sullivan’s songwriting style, mixing levity and a lust for life with hard-won knowledge of the weight of the world.
