Speedway Star // “Cool As Molly”
Here is a brand new track from my buddy Justin McNiff. I still remember when Justin sent me a handful of early scratchy Speedway Star demos last year. The tracks were certainly rough with crusty fidelity, but they also had a lot of heart from a guy who was earnestly searching for his songwriting footing.
With a cassette tape release and a year of experience under his belt, Justin has begun tinkering with the Speedway Star sound incorporating new influences and new sounds. His newest track “Cool As Molly” is not only named after the beautiful Molly Ringwald, but it also finds its bedrock in the music of her most successful decade: the 1980’s. He has smoothed out many of the projects rough edges and embraced a dreamy early shoegaze sound. The track’s vibe, which is simultaneously sunny and melancholy, is a good fit for Justin. Here’s to hoping he has more stuff like this up his sleeve.

New Order’s “Temptation” single came out May 11, 1982. Here’s an amazing 1984 performance in the BBC studios—fascinating how similar this is to the slightly later “Perfect Kiss” video in some ways!
