Liam MillerWith his fifth studio album Tears & Hope, Mollono.Bass delivers more than just music – he presents a sonic reflection of our collective mood. In a time marked by volatility and transformation, the album captures the emotional push and pull of our era: the tension between doubt and determination, sorrow and joy, vulnerability and resilience.
Built on deep, hypnotic grooves and enriched by soulful vocals, Tears & Hope fuses introspective songwriting with the driving pulse of the dancefloor. Mollono.Bass weaves organic textures and free-flowing harmonies into carefully crafted arrangements, creating a sound that is both emotionally charged and rhythmically infectious. It’s music that makes you dance – and think.
Collaboration lies at the heart of the album. Longtime creative ally MAZ’N contributes to several tracks, one of which is elevated by the haunting presence of vocalist Margret. Andy’s Echo also joins the fold, adding to the spirit of community and co-creation that defines the album’s essence.
This is not just a collection of tracks – it’s a cohesive body of work that blurs the lines between club culture and emotive storytelling. With a strong focus on songs rather than just grooves, Tears & Hope marks a bold evolution in the Mollono.Bass sound, and sets the stage for a special live show to come later this year.
From fragile dawns to euphoric peaks, Tears & Hope is a deeply moving journey – one that resonates long after the last note fades. A deeply human record for a world in transition.
