Bio

Paeans to hopscotch, witch-houses in the Springtime, and the Tri-State Tornado of 1925!

Alternating between the pious discipline and inevitable pagan revelry of the marooned choir in "Lord of the Flies", Mothfight produces a sort of avant-garde children's music. Theres is a schizophrenically orchestrated prayer in the key of pop; one that finds a home for barbershop harmonies and numerous instrument changes alongside sound collages and musique concrète.

The group, a variegated cast of genre-hopping musicians, is directed by Kevin Adickes (former Octopus Project, Single Frame, Pitchfork Media). Though their sound relies heavily on classic orchestral instrumentation (trumpets, cellos, violins, banjos, autoharps), they also utilize hand-made tape loops, samples, circuit bent toys,and home-made instruments.
