Mollie Coddled: The Kween of Bedroom Pop

Question:  What have Charles Bukowski, Simone de Beauvoir and Mollie Coddled got in common?

Answer:  All three are unflinchingly honest wordsmiths, with the ability to change the way you feel in an instant.   

Bukowski and de Beauvoir relied on a typewriter, whereas Mollie Coddled has a Fender Jaguar.  Her sumptuous vocals and beautiful melodies give each track a timeless quality.  However, it’s her song writing ability that sets Mollie Coddled apart from her peers.  She’s an astonishingly good writer, being both tender and thought provoking – often within the same song. 

Mollie Coddled has a deeply determined way about her; check out Manic Pixie Dream Girl (anyone who can weave a reference to Myers Briggs Type Indicator into a song and still make it chime is beyond entry level genius).  It’s as if Mollie Coddled has something really important that she wants you to know.  There’s a sharpness of observation and an autobiographical nature to her writing, which draws you into her dayglow world.    

Beyond that, Mollie Coddled has the courage to be authentic.  Most of us have grown too attached to our carefully curated self-image, but Mollie Coddled pushes herself to explore the uncomfortable aspects of life.  She’s taps into feelings of anxiety and expresses her emotional state with a kind of Poetcore aesthetic.    

Mollie Coddled’s songs also confront the challenges associated with AuDHD.  Her writing offers an important insight into a condition that is often misunderstood. 

Simone de Beauvoir said “I accept the great adventure of being me”.  Mollie Coddled has done much the same, and what an adventure it promises to be.

Mollie Coddled releases The Art Of Falling Apart on 21^st July.
