Would Spacemoth exist without Stereolab? Possibly, possibly not, but I'm very pleased to make their acquaintance via t'internet.
Do We Exist? is the first song on Spacemoth's second album, Inward Eye, due in June.
Pipe And Pistol is the third track from first album No Past No Future and the second song by Spacemoth that I heard, less than one hour before writing this.
Maryam Qudus, for she is Spacemoth, has enhanced her music making craft as freelance producer, engineer and "noisemaker" with a CV including the likes of Toro Y Moi, Death Cab For Cutie, Tune-Yards and Sasami, and the experience has fed into her own songs, bending instruments into new shapes (metaphorically not literally).
Last week, the ever-dependable KEXP invited Spacemoth in for a session and Maryam performs as a four-piece with Marika Stuurman, Derek Barber and Cody Rhodes.
Opening with Do We Exist?, there are two more songs from Inward Eye (Round In Loops and UFObird) and one from the debut (Internet Fantasy); all four are excellent and in the post-session chat with host Cheryl Walters, Maryam is an engaging interviewee.
You can but both Spacemoth albums on Bandcamp and various items of merch from the official website.
