About this product
Just out of high school, feeling stuck in a wasted gap year in her New Hampshire hometown before heading to college, Emily Moales found herself in serious need of an escape. Looking around at her rural New England surroundings, the multi-instrumentalist began blurring the rich greenery of reality with that of Medieval Britain. InchI'm perpetually reading TH White's The Once and Future King. I'll pick it back up again every few months, and it will always resonate with what's going on in my life,Inch Moales explains. Infusing imagery from the epic tale of King Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere into intensely personal songwriting, Moales found that escape in creating the sublime Camelot. First released digitally in 2018 and now getting it's first physical issue via Earth Libraries on TK, the record is a sterling statement of the New Hampshirite's work as Star Moles and her ability to craft timeless yet eternally present bedroom pop gems.Though she first envisioned Camelot as a way to escape her reality, the record equally provided a way to address it head on. As a prime example, album highlight InchNot My HeartInch takes a tale of unrequited love on a Casiotone waltz before bursting into a classic AM pop jangle, the imagery of Camelot swirling through the mix like a fluttering banner. Moales' bronzed vocals sit front and center on the track and album at large, surrounded by a robust instrumental tapestry-though much like the album cover's blend of Medieval font and shag carpeting, every bit of regal clarity is matched with warmly retro tones.1.

Regresa was recorded in it's entirety in Raquel and Luis Alfredo's home studio in Puerto Rico, and is an emotional roller coaster in which they face and ponder the issues affecting them and Puerto Rican society at large the frustration at the lack of opportunities for locals while tax breaks lure rich investors, self-doubt and anxiety, even the rise of religious fanaticism. Full of angst and an underlying sense of loss, Regresa - which means InchreturnInch or Inchto come backInch - is a bittersweet, introspective, eye-opening journey.1. Vámono2. La Fiebre3. El Aprieto4.

Richard Davies is one of the last great songwriters on planet Earth. Every song on Composition Book is up there with his finest and so it's no small feat that after 35 years of making beautiful records, this one is his best. - Robert Pollard / Guided By VoicesAustralian mad scientist Richard Davies has long flown under the popular radar with his groups The Moles and Cardinal, but his 10 albums are loved and championed by indie rock royalty. The Flaming Lips, for example, have recorded a Davies song and backed him up on a Moles tour in 1995.A scholar of the songwriting of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Dylan et al., Davies spins off subtle, catchy indie rock melodies, sometimes reassembled in bizarre Frankenstein arrangements and deconstructed sonic derangements. On Composition Book, The Moles have evolved with emphasis on acoustic guitar and divine female voices. Davies' lyrical non sequiturs and caustic wit sting, surprise and delight. InchThe Australian-bred, New England-based Richard Davies has long been a secret-handshake artist for indie diehards; his songs suggest self-contained pop hits from a crooked dimension.Inch - The New Yorker InchThe greatest differentiator between the work of the Moles and that of their contemporaries, though, is Davies himself. As a presence, there is something deeply and beguilingly inscrutable about him, a purposeful blankness that betrays an enormous amount of weight and depth behind it, and oozes both vulnerability and vitriol when it breaks and cracks.Inch - Pitchfork
