Influences: HEAVIER THAN BECK, NOT AS DARK AS JEFF BUCKLEY AND CITING PINK FLOYD, POLICE, SQUEEZE AND RADIOHEAD (AND MANY MORE) AS THEIR INFLUENCE, THE MOONFISH INVENT AN AUTHENTIC, INDIVIDUAL SOUND; A PROMISING NEWCOMER.
Sounds Like: THE MOONFISH ENCOURAGE US TO THINK WHILE ENTERTAINING US. IF WE TRY TO REDUCE THEIR MESSAGE TO THE ELEMENTARY THEY OFFER US THE ABSURD. NOT AT ALL SHY IN THEIR CONVICTION, THE MOONFISH ARE DEDICATED IN THEIR QUEST AND INVITE US TO JOIN THEM. IT IS EQUALLY USELESS TO PIGEONHOLE THEIR GENRE. YES, “BRIT ROCK†WILL GET YOU SOME WAY, BUT THESE FOUR GUYS DON’T STOP THERE; IT’S JUST ONE ITEM ON THEIR ITINERARY. IRONIC, WITH OCCASIONAL NOIR, MOONFISH REMIND US OF SOME AMERICAN WEST COAST SOUNDS AS WELL AS THE UNDENIABLY HALF-BRITISH ROOTS OF THE BAND. BUT THEY ACHIEVE A HYBRID THAT MIXES WITHOUT EXCESSES.SOMETIMES SPARE AND HARSH, BUT NEVER BARE, MOONFISH BLEND CONTRASTS LIKE THE WARM VOICE AND JARRING GUITAR OF WHAT IT IS IS WHAT YOU DID; SHIFTING MELODIES AND BEATING REFRAINS; THE BITTER IRONY OF 4 MILE SMILE; OR THE MORDANT WHO ARE YOU? AND LIKE INFECTION WHERE LOVE IS REDUCED TO INIQUITY (RECALLING THE BETTER JEFF BUCKLEY).THE MOONFISH SERVE UP A FEAST OF MUSING BALLADS AND PSYCHEDELIC ROCK BRIMMING WITH DELICATELY DAYDREAMING COMPOSITION AND CATCHY TONGUE-IN-CHEEK LYRICS. SEASONED WITH VINTAGE KEYBOARDS AND GRITTY GUITARS, THE MOONFISH'S REPERTOIRE HAS A GENUINE ACOUSTIC FLAVOUR. THEY JUST PLAY 'EM THE GOOD-OLD FASHIONED WAY .. AND IT WORKS.“IT'S SIMPLY GOOD LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS AND TRAVELLING WITH THEM. HOPEFULLY THIS JOURNEY IS JUST AT ITS START." SAYS ELENA GUARNERI OF BLUEPRINT PARTNERS.
