Song of the Day: Molina - Golden Brown Sugar

February 22, 2026 Peter Kimpton

Molina

Dreamy, blurry, and strangely beautiful, woozy, shoegaze with washes of textured, melting sound and some echoes of gentler side of My Bloody Valentine by the Copenhagen-based Chilean-Danish artist Rebecca Molina, out now on Escho Records. To explore and enjoy more by Molina, see also the other embedded links below.

Stormy eyes as
ash, golden brown sugar
Her temper, her joy
Is upside down
And I had…

A smug of sound
And wavy walks shimmer
All leaves that she greets
Are upside down

And I had an idea
Of how it would be
But now I see
All her red-stained hair

It keeps coming
’Cause there is a shore
Out of softness

Red room of hearts
Out there to collect, dreamy
She cradles and searches
When upside down
Stormy eyes as
ash, golden brown sugar
In corners she hums
While upside down

And I had an idea
Of how it would be
And now I see
All her red-stained hair

It keeps coming
’Cause there is a shore
Out of softness
It keeps coming
’Cause there is a shore
Out of softness
There is a shore
Out of softness
