Poppy Red: Keep your heart (Single, 2012)

"If you’ve got your headphones handy you are gonna want to grab them for this one. Molly Long and Jimmy Spice are back with another enchanting dreamscape as Poppy Red. Jimmy has been steadily sharing with me the stuff that these two have been coming up with over the last few months and all of that work has culminated in the beauty of “Keep Your Heart”. In keeping with the signature hushed tones, Molly has conjured up this atmosphere that would act as a perfect soundtrack to a foggy morning as the sun breaks in beams through the mist.
If there was some sort of meeting ground between Grouper and Enya, then let it be know that Poppy Red has staked claim to the land. Good news is that the pair are close to finishing a debut album that will be released on cassette by Nick Burk’s (of Acid Glasses fame) label Sunday Fir, so you can be sure I’ll raise the alarm when that thing makes it into the earth’s atmosphere.
And also speaking of cassettes, Liquid Skulls (Jimmy Spice’s other project) album In Lungs is out on yellow cassette right now on Thick Syrup Records. He told me that there aren’t too many left so snatch ‘em up! Ok, now I’m done" (Punch: cactusmouth.tumblr.com)

Poppy Red: Distance (7", 2011)

"My bro Jimmy Spice of Liquid Skulls sent me an email last week with some tracks by Poppy Red. The project is that of a friend of his named Molly Long and she creates some truly stunning music that feels simultaneously intimate and welcoming if that makes any sense. After she finishes the songs she then hands them over to Jimmy who adds some light production work, and together these two have struck gold.
Building her tracks around just a guitar and her beautiful voice, these songs have a lonesome, wandering quality to them. And where alot of the music I’ve been featuring lately has had an unabashedly sunny vibe about them, Poppy Red opts for a slightly darker atmosphere. Like taking walks with only the moonlight as your guide, let Poppy Red take you by the hand and show you some beautiful sights.
Over the last few days the number of tracks on her bandcamp has slowly gone up, so hopefully these two keep on motoring on this stuff, because it truly is something" (Via: cactusmouth.tumblr.com)
