South-London based collective fronted by harpist & songwriter, Tom Moth. Founded in 1999, Tom had previously been performing as part of the band Tearso but went into self-imposed exile after the bands demise.Following two self-released albums (Mothmusic Vol.1 - 2000 & Scar Diaries - 2001), Lunamoth's first single, "Squirrels...Yeah!" was released through Big Square records in Summer 2003 and was described by IDJ magazine as "frankly bizarre, but utterly ace". "Squirrels..." was later re-mixed by Future Funk Squad. At the same time, Lunamoth were writing and performing music for theatre and film productions around London.Tom has been seen working with various artists and bands including Eva Eden, Paul Mosley, The Dave Browns, Revere, contributing to a couple of tracks on Cicero Buck's album "Delicate Shades Of Gray", and doing some recordings and gigs (including Glastonbury 2008) with Florence and the Machine. Lunamoth's cover version of Bjork's "Army Of Me" was chosen by Bjork herself to be featured on a charity compilation of covers and re-mixes of that particular song, with all proceeds going to UNICEF ("Army Of Me" the album is available through One Little Indian records).In 2006, Lunamoth completed a semi-improvised mini album (mainly recorded on location in Germany on a palmtop 4 track) and composed the music for the Spare Parts Theatre Company production "Better". A new album is being finalised, for release in Winter 2007.
