Taking the 2 and 1 half minute song format and making a scheme full of DADA lyrics and melodic cares, Me Me The Moth's sound is a union of voices afloat musical styles ranging from country experimental twang, to fast and crunchy slurs, to rhythmic swinging plucks, back to the creepy ambience of a reverse. You can take references to lunch, Beefheart, Wire, Wonder, Pere Ubu or nothing like. Space is antique, planted in the 21st century, harmonies feed the story and the music is pure and original. Made in America, with roots in Chile and England, Me Me The Moth is a collaboration between Marcelo Radulovich and Neil Carlill.
Their self-produced debut album titled The Weirding Valley features 14 songs constructed via the internet. With Neil in Salem, MA, and Marcelo in Cardiff, CA, the process involved exchanging sound files, which were then pieced together at Radulovich's home studio. This impersonal, long distance approach yielded a work that is surprisingly cohesive and fresh, warm and deep, filled with artistic prowess and fun like tongue in cheek, a new voice existing between unholy commerce. The Weirding Valley by Me Me The Moth releases worldwide on dPulse Recordings (digital and compact disc) May 4, 2010.
"...he took us far beyond the common boundaries of a concert. Apocalyptic, primitive, and original video images were combined with field samples and rhythmic recordings upon which Radulovich's live vox shimmies like a shaman...."
Mary Leary - SD Reader (Concert review)
"In his mind's eye, though, Neil is in full-body false eyelashes, one hell of an exhibitionist for a man from the world of the avant-garde...
...Neil looks like a man for whom inhibitions are just something that happens to other people, and then he impersonates a dog."
Victoria Segal - NME
"Marcelo is like the ghost of 'Scary Monsters' era Bowie returning to haunt the aether following an extended stay in a parallel dimension."
David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets) - Web
"Carlill's abilities with keyboards are in ways the foursome that is Delicatessen's secret weapon"
