Pink Moth

Pink Moth is a new project centered around its main creative force, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ray Cammaert. After years of touring and making critically acclaimed records as a key member of Maps of the Night Sky, new material written in solitude indicated a different approach was necessary. The result is an intimate and honest presentation of the evolution of a songwriter and his craft.Recorded at the band's own Tinshop Studios and mixed by Andy Magoffin (Great Lake Swimmers, Constantines, Jim Guthrie) at his House of Miracles studio, this collection of songs is a melancholic, minimalist affair. Tempos shift and dynamics play beneath a dark, stream-of-concious narrative, ever-expansive in it's imagery and breadth, but it is the deft use of saw, organ, french horn, and violin that give these defiant hymnals their eerie, twilight quality.Cammaert and longtime partner, illustrator Willow Dawson, were the primary musicians on the album, while Miichael McGuffin, Mika Posen (Forest City Lovers), and Joan Watson all helped shape its unique sound.Pink Moth's debut full-length will be released in the summer of 2009.
