专辑简介

In a brightly painted bunker in Bristol, The Moles are making music that goes way below the underground. Reminiscent of Damon Albarn, lyricist Mole Brin Davies fully understands the correlation between the disconnected playfulness of Syd Barret and the art school nihilism of the early punk movement. Across 15 songs the group forge a distinct sound, relying on simple production (lovingly re-created in Fuller's attic) rather than the everything-but-the-kitchen sink effect laden approach of the Sgt Pepper school of recording. Grammy winner Billy Fuller (also a member of BEAK>, Fuzz Against Junk and Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation… yes, ROBERT PLANT) supplies many a memorable bass line whilst Davies’ characteristic English vocals may well leave the same lasting impression as Ray Davies, Robyn Hitchcock, Howard Devoto and Jarvis Cocker… even when having explosive US garage-punk/psych edges, the forlorn, upbeat, funny and sad music of The Moles is as English as fish ’n’ chips at the end of Weston-Super Mare pier!
