Molotov and Haze is the eighth studio album released by British musician, songwriter and producer Steven Wilson under the pseudonym Bass Communion.

The album consists of four tracks, and, according to Steven Wilson's website, is divided in two sections: "2 noisy tracks (Molotov) and 2 transcendently beautiful tracks (Haze)."[2] All pieces were generated from guitar and recorded from February 14 to 17, 2008.

The album was issued in miniature card gatefold sleeve. Some excerpts from "Haze" and "Corrosive" can be heard on the Bass Communion MySpace page. An excerpt from "Molotov" can be heard through the Important Records website[3].
