Why sound like Oasis when you could sound like Peter Sarstedt? The crooner of 'Where Do You Go to (My Lovely)' has been possessed by the young Pete Molinari, who adds a bit of a Mario Lanza/Procul Harum/Jim Reeves spice to his lovelorn strum-a-longs. Even the photos of him have fallen straight from the pages of an Italian hipster mag circa '62. I bet my Gran would have got a little fruity with this lad's cake. Knowhorramean? 'One Stolen Moment' is lovingly authentic easy listening folk rock with effeminate, tender vocals and a sweet harmonica. Lovers of Tindersticks' more schmaltzy moments & Ricardo De Hawley will lap this up like the mini-skirted young filth maidens they are. And some lasses may dig it too. 7" only on the punker than yr Grandpops Damaged Goods.The final single to be taken from his critically acclaimed second album ‘A Virtual Landslide’ this is a three track 7” single featuring the track ‘One Stolen Moment’ plus Love Lies Bleeding’ from his debut album ‘Walking Off The Map’ and an exclusive, previously unreleased fantastic acoustic version of the Billy Childish / Buff Medways song, ‘The Poets Dream’ This has been an incredible year for Pete Molinari which has seen among many highlights... widespread critical acclaim for his Liam Watson produced album "A Virtual Landslide", a nomination for best newcomer in the Mojo awards, a sold out 100 Club show in June, sessions and appearances on Bob Harris, Mark Lamar and Radcliffe & Maconie's radio shows a totally storming performance at Latitude Festival in front of more than a 1000 revellers rammed into Mark Lamar's Gods Juke Box Tent.
