The Coral’s gifted guitarist, Paul Molloy has announced his second solo album ‘The Madmen of Apocalypso’ which follows 2020’s lockdown-released ‘The Fifth Dandelion’. Molloy has shared the track ‘Luxury Bunker’, the first single from the album, due for release on September 6th via Spring Heeled Records.
He explains:
“The song is about an extremely delusional and paranoid man (probably suffering from PTSD)who is under the illusion that the human race is depending on him and on his survival solely to avoid complete extinction. He, therefore, acquires a hazmat suit and builds a ‘Luxury Bunker’ from which he never emerges again. Even to take out the bins.”
“It came about when my girlfriend, Fiona, was watching a TV programme about a guy who was renovating old war bunkers in America and turning them into luxury homes in the future event of apocalypse and catastrophe. We thought it was hilarious, so a week later it got brought up again and the title ‘Luxury Bunker’ found its way into the conversation, and I thought: ‘I need to write this.'”
Sounding like a modern ‘Village Preservation Society’, Luxury Bunker is fine English tale of eccentricity done in the great style of the great British songsmiths. Molloy’s second album sees him join this illustrious list.
