Moth Complex is an electronic rock band fronted by singer/songwriter, Aoife O'Leary.
Moth Complex combines Aoife's powerful and gentle voice with off-kilter electronics and bruising rock. It's a sound of contrasting elements - at times loud and intense, at others pretty and soft - with each element complimenting and highlighting the other.
Based in Dublin, Ireland, Aoife began writing songs for Moth Complex with the idea of combining a propulsive sound with a hard, cold edge with open and bared melodies and words.
She approached Gerry Owens to work with her, having known his writing and production on Skindive. Together they defined their sound and wrote the songs for Moth Complex.
The live show is the perfect place to explore the varied musical elements in Moth Complex and here, Aoife is joined by Dave Kavanagh (guitar), Eoin Markey (bass) and Damien Murphy (drums).
I'm having some Guinesse right now and listening to The Who and it reminded me of you guys. Moth Complex needs to come back to the USA, especially Iowa!
Thanks for taking the time out to come hang with us in Des Moines. I hope you enjoy your visit here in the US and thanks for taking the time to say hello!
