Album Notes & Community Reviews

As one of the world's premier professional whistlers, Molly Lewis spectacularly revives the glamorous, mid-century aesthetics of lounge and cinematic exotica. Supported by lush, heavily reverbed instrumentation reminiscent of vintage spaghetti western scores, her wordless melodies are incredibly sensual and deeply ethereal. It is a wonderfully peaceful, mysterious, and beautifully orchestrated slice of modern easy listening.
