One quiet weekend afternoon in March 2025, I found myself scribbling out a poem—half memory, half atmosphere. It wasn’t intended to be a song at first. Just something I wrote to capture a kind of nostalgia I couldn’t quite name. Something about the way light hits a fogged-up window, or how you can feel a moment long after it’s gone. But as the words came together, I realized they were whispering a melody back at me.

So I gave the poem a second life.

With only a few small tweaks for rhyme and rhythm, I turned it into lyrics. Then I opened Suno.ai and began building the track that would become “A New Kind of Feeling – Postal Variant.” To shape the sonic identity, I invented a new persona: Mol3 — a musical alter ego born to explore memory, tech-fuzzed intimacy, and the kind of emotional landscape you’d find in the margins of a Pacific Northwest winter.

🌫 Who is Mol3?

Mol3 is a mood more than a voice. The sound is built around electronic indie-pop atmosphere—light synth pads, dreamy textures, and a soft-spoken lyrical delivery that floats just above minimal percussion. Think: the ethereal warmth of a Ben Gibbard vocal line filtered through late-night lo-fi, or an unreleased B-side from The Notwist’s Neon Golden.

If you had to put it in words:

“Electronic indie-pop atmosphere, light synth pads, gentle and airy vocals, introspective lyrical tone, dreamy textures, minimalistic percussion, crisp electronic beats, subtle guitar layers, nostalgic.”

That’s Mol3. It’s a project I want to return to again. Not as a band. Not really even as a musical genre. But as a place—one that exists just behind the screen.

🤖 Built with AI, But Never Without Intention

Using Suno.ai to produce this wasn’t about outsourcing the music—it was about bringing tools into the creative process that could carry the weight of emotion without distorting it. The AI didn’t write the story. It helped me shape the echo of one.

🖼 The Visual World

I paired the song with a set of grainy, analog-inspired visuals—faded hearts on fogged windows, wilting plants on cold sills, the ghostly RGB glow of a screen at midnight. These aren’t just aesthetic choices—they’re fragments from the same dream. I want the world of Mol3 to feel lived-in. Intimate. Quiet.

🎙 What’s Next?

Honestly, I don’t know. I didn’t start this with the intention of launching a music project. But Mol3 feels like something I want to return to. I might explore new tracks, maybe bring in collaborators, or maybe just leave this one song exactly as it is—a timestamp of a March afternoon where everything aligned just right.
