With headphones clamped firmly over his ears and a guitar resting lovingly across his lap, Aaron Molho has spent most of his adult life within the confines of his labrotory of cables, tubes, strings, ink and beer. But on "Six Strings and A Microphone," this musical hermit finally lets us into his private world of raw vocal poetry. In a fitting first break from his historical reclusiveness, this encompassing album pulls songs from over a decade of Aaron's work -- adding complexity to the simple instrumentation of the release. As the title suggests, Aaron employs no gimmicks -- surprising you only with his unique and shockingly rich singing voice. Though the Beck-like-eclectic artist has worked on more intricately orchestrated and produced music with several notable musicians including Zach Hill (Drummer of Hella) and Foley (Miles Davis, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Prince), Aaron strikes out on his own for this bold, raw release -- giving us an intimate taste of his spellbinding live acoustic performances. The opening track "I Will Always Be Here" should pull your heart strings as Aaron paints a nuanced, realistic view of love that "puts the listener in his shoes" (Phillip Fray, DJ KDVS Radio). In contrast, the sparkling dedications of warmth expressed in "Sara" and "High" may project cinematic scenes of romance onto your mind's eye. Though hints of Jeff Buckley, Paul Simon, Radiohead and John Lennon all make their way into these songs, you may yet be surprised with Aaron’s distinct command over the guitar and his signature vocal musings.
