CloseUp // Track of the Month #09 - Mollie Coddled - ‘party on my own’
As the nights get longer, and those wintery crunchy walks loom, we felt it only appropriate to save one of our favourite artists for our last CloseUp x WTHB track of 2022. Mollie Coddled has been making a name for herself across the country this year, and latest single ‘party on my own’ embodies her playful, yet thought provoking slacker pop. Intricate guitars, catchy hooks & unique, true to self lyricism take centre stage on her latest release.
