TRACK REVIEW: Maius Mollis – Feel It Hard

Big Thief, Frankie Cosmos, Soccer Mommy – there certainly isn’t a shortage of lo-fi melancholia at the moment. Whether she intends to or not, Maius Mollis takes her place among these artists with ease in Feel It Hard.

The song is a gorgeously sad ode to wonky family dynamics and the searing pain of breakups without closure: its opening is fairly unassuming, with rolling drums and soft guitar. But by the time we reach the chorus, the song has veered into the realm of the gut-wrenching. All in all, it’s a bittersweet experience – and if scream-crying the words to Speaking Terms by Snail Mail is your thing, you should probably check it out.
