rdf:langString Mollycuddle was an alternative rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota active from 1994 to 2000. A quartet composed of vocalist/guitarists Sara Aase and Tommy Kim, bassist Guy Lawhead, and drummer Judson Hildreth, the band was signed to Minneapolis label Guilt Ridden Pop. It released three albums, an EP and a split single with the band Pilot Light. City Pages writer Peter Scholtes described their music as "cranky dreampop" and singled out for praise their "affecting" 1998 ode to Law & Order actress Jill Hennessy, "The Ballad of Jill Hennessy." Colin Helms of CMJ New Music Report called them "shamelessly retro indie-pop" and called the song "Miracles", from their 1999 EP The Best Place For You, "the ideal demonstration of the band's feisty guitar change and melody-driven bounce." A reviewer for the White Plains, New York Journal News called It's Not You, It's Me "occasionally yummy but ultimately underwhelming" but said that "Aase's candy-glazed voice is irresistibly listenable." The band broke up in 2000 when Kim moved out of town to finish a Ph.D. dissertation.
