about

Moderate Rebels release ‘For Your Sustainable Development’, their 4th studio album, on 12th December via Everyday Life Recordings.

The MR collective say, “We’re proud of it, it feels generally optimistic, hopefully fairly good humoured, and obviously we think it’s the best thing we’ve done so far... lots of pentatonic droning on synths and guitars, meets our below conscious level minimal words slogany thing, bits of hypnotic chanting... and what’s it all about? Good question, you can tell us...”.

Recorded in Margate, Tufnell Park, South Bermondsey and Gravesend, with regular contributors Mo, Kate, David, Charlie, Emma and Kevin, this new album continues Moderate Rebels interest in "how ambiguous language and it's associated vague ideas are used by wannabe authoritarians, and looking for multiple simultaneous meanings, articulating both internal and external reactions"

"Musically it seems we're always looking for some hypnotic elevation and a feeling of rousing spirit, whether that's arising out of gallows humour, or just playing with a sonic style ('Celtic Cosmiche' ? 'Shoegaze Disko'?) that we haven't personally explored before. We'd like to think that with each song, we've got to something that's not on any other Moderate Rebels album"

“We don’t write the songs, the songs write us,” say the group. “We enjoy mucking around with music until things happen, and sometimes that’s quick to become a song, or sometimes it just ends up as a fun moment for us, only in memory. We can’t conclusively answer questions about what it is, because we control nothing about it. We enjoy the process, though. If it wasn’t a buzz, we wouldn’t do it”.

about

Moderate Rebels image

Moderate Rebels London, UK

Moderate Rebels love driving rhythmic repetition, discordant guitar fuzz, hazy psychedelia, twinkling piano ballads, drum machine rigidity and playful synth pop. Their touchstones – Phil Spector, Fripp & Eno and Syd Barrett, Spiritualized, St Etienne and Stereolab, and the wry humour of 80s Pet Shop Boys – are stamped with their own inimitable identity. ... more
