Started on a whim in 2010 by Enablers vocalist Pete Simonelli (lyrics, vocals) and Lynn Wright of And The Wiremen (guitar), Molecular has seen a broad cast of musicians come and go in its highly rotational flux of instrumentation and musicianship in performances around New York City, England, and Spain. It is a "feel"-oriented collection of players whose ideas evoke a steady, yet shape-shifting spirit of improvisation. Warmest Regards is the culmination of a short week-long tour throughout England. This live recording is taken from a very lively, intimate set on a wintry Sunday night at New River Studios in London. The line-up includes Simon Goff (And The Wiremen) on violin, Algis Kizys (ex-Swans, Of Cabbages And Kings) on bass, and Sam Ospovat (Enablers, Ava Mendoza) on drums. It documents the progressive cohesion of the band after six straight nights of entirely improvised music. Over the course of these six shows, the poems, rants, and music were never delivered the same way twice. On that basis alone, the band just took the thing and let it kick them each and every way possible until the egg timer chimed and the set would then conclude. There were no foundations, no arrangements, and there was never any solid plan. The only rule followed was, as is ever the case with improvisation, to listen to each other. Recorded live at New River Studios, London UK on Dec 6th, 2015. Mixed by Algis Kizys. Artwork and layout by David Hand. Mastered by Douglas Henderson at Micro Moose Berlin.
