We’re excited to present ‘Mintea’, the second single from the forthcoming Moonchy & Tobias album, Golem. The track is available now to stream via SoundCloud ahead of the album release on 25th March through Tiny Room Records and Hidden Shoal. First single, ‘Potio Medicata’, is also streaming on SoundCloud along with it’s accompanying music video available to stream via YouTube.
Golem sees Moonchy & Tobias boldly embarking on a treacherous journey through haunted, psychedelic territory. Moonchy is the Medicine Woman in this dark rainforest, with Tobias dredging up waterlogged sound from the swamp and refracting it through a hall of mirrors. While M&T’s widely acclaimed previous albums prioritized atmosphere over rhythmic intensity, Golem stirs in a heady dose of grinding bass and guitar textures familiar to fans of 90s bands such as Girls Against Boys and Morphine.
The album hurtles into view with ‘Zoas’, tapping into the lurching alt-rock magic of Captain Beefheart or Scary Monsters-era Bowie. First single, ‘Potio Medicata’ leans into an insistent Middle-Eastern flavored ostinato, melodically infused and mesmerizing, whilst ‘Mintea’ counterbalances its strident guitar riffing and joyous cowbell with Moonchy’s eerie vocal.
The music of Moonchy & Tobias is available for licensing for film, tv, web and beyond via Hidden Shoal.
