It was the great John Noakes who said “you have to shake it out at least once every couple of decades, if you want to know what the moths did”. So with both those facts in mind, we realise the time has come to show the wall the Luminol, kill the lights and hit the UV.
The Scottish group who were active from 1996 to 2004, were known for their releases The Three EPs, the dizzying eclectic self-titled 1999 debut and two subsequent albums 2001’s Hot Shots II and 2004’s Heroes To Zeros.
They featured in a key needle drop in Nick Hornby film High Fidelity starring John Cusack, but remained a cult favourite of mine and many others for their slanted experimental mix of folk, psych, electronica, trip-hop and rock.
The band wound up in December 2004 and played their second last show in Dublin’s Ambassador.
Anyway, here’s some of their best tunes:
