With the release of her new debut album It Should Have Been Done With Ease, Melbourne artist Molly Mckew has put together her most complete and engrossing showcase of her intimate sound to date, exploring themes like heartbreak, fantasy, rumination and absence with the kind of unique rawness and flair that the artist has made her own since her emergence in 2022.

The album’s opening track ‘And on Waking Up, It Was Still True’ sets the tone for the album perfectly, brooding and intense while packed full of the artist’s unique style of storytelling and captivating appeal throughout. There is an almost hypnotic edge to the artist’s alt-folk sound on the track, largely down to the cyclical and trance-like nature of the vocals and the artist’s stirring sound. The track sets you up for exactly what to expect from Molly, a creative and ambitious sound that takes ques from both pop and celtic music without ever compromising on her expansive appeal.
