I've always been a little scared of the Moulettes, ever since I managed to get myself into a convoluted misunderstanding involving Modernaire, an electro-pop outfit a couple of them are also involved in. It involved a free digital single release with the now-defunct Kruger Magazine, one whose exclusivity they expected the band's management to police, and when I was asked to take it down I thought their management was just plain opposed to free songs on blogs and so I wrote a big long thing explaining why sample songs were a benefit to bands and the ended up [...]
Proving that there is more to Oxford than 'Blessing Force', the Jericho Tavern plays host to Back & To The Left and Everyday Folk's delightful mini winter festival. Packed with emerging musical talent and held over the first weekend in December, The Common Room's line up boasts (amongst others) Wyoming inspired country/folk band The Epstein , the introspective shoegaze melodies of The Gullivers and the Oxford based indie five-piece Spring Offensive . Tickets and more information can be found at WeGotTickets . Related posts [...]

Here's the super-amtospheric video to go with the Moulettes song 'Devil Of Mine'. Taken from their self-titled debut album (due August 16th), it features stop-frame animation to create a visual spectate that blends perfectly with their multifaceted cacophony of sound.

Cellist Hannah Miller, bassoonist Ruth Skipper and Ollie Austin (guitar, drums) have been playing and singing together for several years. But with the addition of violinist Georgina Leach and percussionist Rob Arcari in 2008, The Moulettes' sinewy, melodic sound has come into true focus. Their self-titled album (due 16th August) splices together strands of classical, gypsy, jazz, rock and even some avant-garde to create a complex yet accessible whole. Highlights include the epic, atmospheric story-song Devil Of Mine , the Zepplin-esque folk-metal of Requiem and the entrancing prog-pop of Wilderness . [...]
This podcast is called the Greencast because we have the most hobbled government in recent memory - Cameron has kinda, sorta, maybe won, in the sense that he is actually the PM. On the other hand Clegg, having been butchered at the polls, after a promising campaign, is now in a position of more influence than he was ever likely to gain from the election alone. And yet Labour, despite being deposed, seem to have come out of it all better than anyone. They may be out of power, but they are free from the millstone [...]
Yes, this is a little late, but it doesn't really matter anymore. I've made some very slight changes to the list - some songs I lost interest in after a while, some I moved around, but the top thirty have remained the same. 2009 has been a good year for music, perhaps better than its predecessor, but these songs take some beating. I think the best thing to do is to stream the tracks while reading. Or just download them all, whatever's good for you. All the rather lovely artwork for this list is by Anika , who also [...]
Live recordings - in fact, specifically, live albums - came up in a recent post on Song, by Toad and the idea of doing a podcast composed entirely of live recordings really appealed to me because there are so many great ones. That said, on the post in question there arose a debate , one voice expressing my deepest hatreds of the genre, and another being perhaps over-generous in the other direction. Frankly, I despise the vast majority of live albums. Mostly they are shit recordings of songs we already know, released for the sole reason of [...]

Ruth (Chestie La Rue - what's not to love about a name like that) from Modernaire has replied to my rambling nonsense about copyright and freebies, although she did so in a comment, so I thought I'd move it up here for your perusal: Hello all. It's Ruth here from Modernaire and The Moulettes. Sorry for [...]
Another day, another new and exciting band I ran across whilst idly browsing MySpace. Well, not knicker-soilingly exciting exactly - I mean, Pete Doherty is unlikely to give up crack for these guys - but lots of bizarre joys for you to wrap your listening kit around. The Moulettes wander a terrain that should be quite [...]
