2004, Alien 8
"Trouble at Jinx Hotel" is the fourth album from the sprawling Montréal ensemble, Molasses. This inspired example of the group's utterly original music displays the raw, world-weary voice of old Americana, the abandon of improvisation and experiment, the spiritually-charged atmosphere of church music, and the adventure of the avant-garde... all swirling around the musings of singer-songwriter Scott Chernoff. The Boston Phoenix says of the record: "Sweepingly cinematic, cracked-dry arrangements take in everything from disembodied bowery guitar orgies to lonesome whistles 'round the bend, tracing an unlikely path from Skip James to Sonic Youth."
