Moulettes a go go in Album Review Round Up!
Moulettes release their self titled debut album next week and have been receiving much coverage from the music press, so much so that we decided to give you a little round up of the most recent excellent reviews that have come their way...
First up comes a review from the brilliantly titled website Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot who have given the band a stirring write up and scored the album 4/5!
"...a geniunely unique and exciting sound, they sound like the result of an unspeakably horrific unholy union between Gogol Bordello, Nick Cave, Bellowhead, and the Stray Cats but without the punk element, not pissed and with two female singers with stunning voices! - Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot
Read the full review HERE.
Just Press Play have been equally effusive in their praise for what has been described as the most ambitious "folk" album of the year. With scores given out of 10 for various facets of the album, the website scored the band 10/10 for Originality and 9/10 for Vocals, with an overall aggregate score of 8/10!
"With splendid vocal harmonization, great songwriting and a flat out wildly original concept, the Moulettes have given us what may be the best debut of 2010." - Just Press Play

Finally, Noripcord complete a trio of rip roaring reviews for the bands debut album, with another impressive article complementing the highly original nature of the record. The website settled on a score of 7/10 which is not too shabby...
"They even make world music cool, as with Talisman, which is brimming with sultry folklorico passion, a style that marries wonderfully with the free-form gypsy groove that moves like an undercurrent throughout." - Noripcord

Introducing the Moulettes and free track download!
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.
The band have shared stages, recordings, and personnel with the likes of Mumford & Sons (Ted Dwane of the Mumfords used to be their bassist) Mystery Jets, Band of Skulls (Emma Richardson guests on the album), Liz Green and even the Ting Tings – supporting the latter on tour as three-quarters of electro-pop band Modernaire. And they can count the Unthanks, Noisettes and Robert Plant as fans.
Live, they have charisma to burn, and this summer they grace stages at Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Big Session and Larmer Tree, amongst many others. Recently they have busked across Europe; led music workshops with kids in Bosnia; gigged with a 100-voice choir; and organised a festival in their own back garden.
The record itself is the most ambitious ‘folk’ album you’ll hear all year. It splices together strands of classical, gypsy, jazz, alt.-rock and even some avant-garde to create a complex yet accessible whole. Highlights include the epic, atmospheric story-song “Devil Of Mine” (which boasts a mind-blowing video included as an extra on the disc); the Zepplin-esque folk-metal of “Requiem” and the entrancing prog-pop of “Wilderness”.
You can download the track "Talisman" from the album HERE.
The collection heralds the arrival of a profoundly original force in roots music.
