About the album

CD-cover

"We wanted to write some songs that were catchy and listenable, yet at the same time different and impossible to pigeonhole. The lyrics are aimed at people who actually listen! We've used dusty antique instruments, such as the Harmonium and the Benjo (yes, that IS how you spell it; it's an ancient english instrument Ben owns - half banjo, half saxophone, and a British version of the Bulbul Tarang, or "Waves of Nightingales"). We've taken old styles, ranging from the 60's through to the 90's, and peppered them with modern production techniques. Finally, we've tried to blend each of these unique elements together, to see what the result would be. The result of our experiment is what you'll find on the "SONGS FOR THE LOST" CD! Enjoy!"

Featured review

"Effectively, Moth are singer/songwriter Tina Henderson and her husband Ben, and this debut album features a mammoth selection of 15 tunes that are essentially pop in style -but don’t be fooled! Strong in melody but quirky in delivery, this is grown up music, and the duo have clearly laboured in the studio to create something that will appeal to those who are serious about music. There’s plenty of creativity here and I particularly like “Driftwood” with its samples of seagulls opening and closing the gorgeous acoustic track. Elsewhere, old technology meets state of the art on tracks like “Crown” and “Clouded” which both employ some old fashioned keyboard sounds. The band know how to create atmosphere on tracks like “Approval” whilst employing some rock riffs on “New Money”. Impossible to easily categorise, Moth surprise at every musical turn and the only thing which is consistent is Tina Henderson’s excellent voice and the strength of the songwriting. Creative and surprising, how I wish there were more Christian albums that could be described like that." 9/10 Mike Rimmer Cross Rhythms Magazine (Issue 70)
