About this product
In the most literal sense, globally renowned whistler Molly Lewis makes her gorgeous and curious compositions out of thin air. New entrees into the Exotica canon; sprawling, would-be Spaghetti Western scores; and a dash of Old Hollywood glamour - the whistle-led songs on her debut EP The Forgotten Edge are as complex, delicate and indelible as anything performed with viola or piano. InchWhistling is like a human theremin,Inch said Lewis, an Australian native who's spent the last several years in LA, and whose performances there and around the world are changing any preconceived notions of whistling by the room-full. That's not to say Lewis is all serious and snooty about the craft. Quite the contrary. Her sense of humor is witty, self-deprecating and zany. She's as likely to reference the slapstick Leslie Nielsen film series Naked Gun for music video concepts as she is a classic piece of noir cinema. Look no further than the equatorial and breezy opening cut InchOceanic Feeling,Inch a lovely walk across the flotsam-sprinkled sands in the rum-pumping vein of Les Baxter. Meanwhile, the title track - and really, the entire collection here - is a loving, and albeit rather haunting, salute to one of Lewis's heroes, the Italian composer and musician Alessandro Alessandro Alessandroni, who's whistle and guitar you hear on the title theme of Ennio Morricone's A Fistful of Dollars. Lewis and her ensemble create classic cinema for your mind. Her own love for the artform began when, around the age of twelve she was given the CD Steve InchThe WhistlerInch Herbst Whistles Broadway.

Molly Lewis's compositions seem to float into ourears from distant shores. They're otherworldly, drawn more fromlandscapes of dream than from anywhere you could find on a map.Lewis is a unique presence in music today. Her trademark whistle,which brings to mind the great Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac, hasgraced recordings of everything from Schumann lieder and Brazilianjazz to Spaghetti Western ballads and noir lounge.Lewis's collaborations are diverse La Femme, SébastienTellier and Dr. Dre. She's performed around the globe, at Shanghai'sYuz Museum, the Cannes Film Festival, Mexico City's Salón LosAngeles, and across the whole of New Zealand. Lewis's 2021 debutEP, The Forgotten Edge, was produced by Tom Brenneck (CharlesBradley, Amy Winehouse). It was a critical success, drawing praisefrom The New York Times and NPR, and landing Lewis a spot on CBSSunday Morning.Now, Lewis and Brenneck have teamed up again for hersecond EP, Mirage, bringing aboard Brazilian guitarist Rogê, as wellas percussionist Gibi Dos Santos and keyboardist Roger Manning.Capacious and atmospheric, Mirage is Lewis's most hypnotic effortyet. Like Eden's Island (1970) by eden ahbez-whose InchNature BoyInchis covered in one of Mirage's standout moments-the album is basedon Lewis's visions of an imaginary island. The rich, oceanic texturesof Mirage transport us to the sands of an unknown beach-all aloneor in the company we've always dreamt of keeping.
