The Moth & the Mirror are five and a half people: guitarists Gordon (Make Model) & Louis (Brother Louis Collective), drummer Pete , bassist Kevin (Smoke Jaguar), percussionist Iain, and vocalist Stacey (the Reindeer Section, ex-Arab Strap).
The band began as a fateful germination in the brain of that chanteuse early in the century, late in the afternoon of one typical day (Tiusday or Wodensday, can’t remember) when she jumped from a too-high rock into a river that was not deep. Fluids became crystalline. There were rubies and diamonds. Tiny electric explosions flared in the neurological region and then and then and then…
Truncated story: Quickfast the earth zoomed round the sun two or four times. Dizzied by planetary torque the six people collided.
Nowadays, real-time, in the present, these people get together on purpose, say hellohowdoyoudo, pick up their noise-makers and go:
PlinglingdannanadmmdoooooooOOoohaaaaahbdooM.Grshshhhb~ting~~~~~
-except in Sound, not letters.
Sometimes, afterwards, they walk around the streets and proclaim (implausibly):
“MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO ALTER THE SHAPE OF MATERIAL OBJECTS.”
But not everybody understands, and anyway it’s not yet proven.

Many thanks for such a beautiful discovery...I think one of your specificities (and intelligence) is to have let the female musician making lead singing, which gives something much more surprising (great 'Everyone knows'...) WOuld be very great to play common gigs with you on a 2010 tour! PS : love your town, for so many (good) reasons:-) Best from France ASMD
