Indie pop songwriter Molly O’Malley has been releasing a string of EPs over the past few years, establishing their sound via a winning combination of sugary dream pop, ‘90s guitars, and confessional songwriting. As they describes it, they make “daydream punk for your long drive home.” Fans heard from her last year with her EP, goodwill toy, and this year they’ve been teasing their follow-up with their latest single, “Golden Hour.”

O’Malley is back with an early listen to their latest three-track EP, Nobody Parties (Like Molly), along with an accompanying video for the record’s opener, “Diern"

“Diern” opens the EP with a stylistic turn for O’Malley, diving further into the ‘90s alternative side of her songwriting, complete with walls of hazy shoegaze guitars and lyrics full of gnarled cathartic confessions. The track plays like a final release of pent-up anger, as O’Malley calls out those who prey on others’ vulnerability, yet they also imbue the track with an irresistible melodic core.
