With her latest album, Uma Bloo’s Molly Madden is trying to trick herself. Out via Earth Libraries, Don’t Drive Into the Smoke encapsulates a core of intense grief within layers of more familiar love and heartbreak. By opening her explorations in the form of immaculately layered indie rock epic, the Chicago turned Los Angeles-based artist and the listener can face the depths of pain together. “It’s about needing love so bad, getting shards of it here and there, and then watching yourself from above as you spill all over the place,” she says. “Love and lust are great deceivers, fantastic distractions from getting to the heart of the pain.”

Throughout, Madden’s poetic lyrics pick at the vagaries and frustrations of mismatched relationships and interpersonal malfunctions--but the physicality of the compositions and her ranging vocals prove just as effective. Her pops of breathy exasperation and flourishes of falsetto on the waltzing early single “Marguerite’s Novels” exemplify that catharsis, moving swiftly from a request to dance to an insistence that she’s headed to the grave. “When I write songs, I focus less on what they'll sound like and judge them based on whether or not the physical expression of whatever I'm feeling is successful,” Madden says.

The romanticism of the album comes paired always with a gothic “til death do us part” darkness inherited from Madden’s Catholic upbringing, a childhood of preparing for death and focused on love focused on a man long dead. “There's a sense of beauty, abandonment, and devotion in spite of irrationality in there that has filtered into my songs and singing style,” she says. “I thought I wrote songs to understand myself romantically, but now that I have a number of years between myself then and now, I realize it’s an album largely about processing loss, of an unattainable life I desired, living inside of a dream.”
