Reefus Moons

Reefus Moons is a one-man band from York in England who inhabits a strange world of creatures, some human some half-human, insects, birds and surreal landscapes. A very English whimsical eccentric perusing a rare form of surreal songwriting in the tradition of other songwriters such as Syd Barrett and Robyn Hitchcock. Having started life on Acid Tapes in the 90’s with albums such as ‘The art of slow travelling’, ‘Moondust’ and ‘World in a droplet’. He later went on to create the rare and hard to find LP: ‘Reach for the Sundial and kiss for the hits’ on his own label, Insect Eye Records followed by ‘The Word raven’, an album held in such high esteem by the radio broadcaster Mark Radcliffe he had to stand on a chair. Two solo CD’s followed:‘Uptight sound from the message tree’ (1993)and ‘roar' (1995)including songs such as: ‘Mystic man’, ‘Acid house sargeant’, ‘The skyscraper song’, ‘Solar face’ and ‘I like myself and I want to fly’. The next venture was a collaboration with the Suicidal Flowers and members of Gods little monkeys and Mostly autumn with the CD ‘Marmalade Sun’ (2000) on Delerium Records recreating older classics such as ‘Love Bomb’ and ‘Groovin with the vicar’ and new ones such as ‘Trojan Horses’ and ‘Dinosaurs Toe’. Now………after several years wandering in the wilderness............ he’s back with a new CD called ‘Waiting for my albatross’. A summery, psychedelic record released just in time for winter. This includes songs such as: ‘Sea in a jar’, ‘A song about time’, ‘White crystal birds’, ‘The loon in the moon’, ‘A certain kind of grin’, ‘Moss is on my shoes’, ‘Summer ghosts’ and the epic ‘Waiting for my albatross’. Out now on Insect Eye records, it is available from a new website at www.reefusmoons.com as CD or MP3 along with much of the back catalogue which has been almost impossible to get hold of, having long since sold out......................................................... ....................................................
