Listening Post: Mmoths picks some of his favourite tracks…
Tonight sees the debut of MMoths live full band as part of the Static Weekender series of gigs in the Button Factory alongside Young Wonder and Regal Safari (€10 in). He dropped a Fader mix this week featuring snippets of new tracks from his Diaries EP out next year so it’ll be interesting to see how he progresses both tonight and next year.
