about

Digital available here: themoats.bandcamp.com/album/pleased-to-meet-you

The Moats' debut suite documents the beginning of a band that is the product of decades of friendship. Having played together in various guises over the years, the notion to start afresh was born, with a new(ish) sonic palette and a stripped-back approach.

Characterised by a blown-out, twin guitar attack, underpinned by a persistent, taught rhythm section. Chiming 12-string melodies cut through, while fuzzed up, glam-y Eno-esque lead parts shine. The Moats trade in ramshackle pop that references lofty Laurel Canyon touchstones such as The Byrds and Neil Young, before sending them via San Francisco jangle and garage rock, through to Aussie punk and beyond.

Spirited and ambitious in scope, presented within the means they have available to them. Home-recorded, miniature epics and concisely formed songs. The Moats try to not outstay their welcome, careering through 7 tracks of emotional highs and lows, all delivered within a compact 21 minutes.
