Described by Q as “Spacious instrumental grandeur” and Kerrang as “Achingly beautiful soundscapes swathed in white noise”. Moly’s debut album Your Life Is in Danger was released in 2002 following their notorious SXSW appearance where Mark narrowly escaped a night in jail for destroying part of the stage with his bass. Their critically acclaimed debut single Me And Lucifer was featured on Radio One’s The Blue Room album alongside, My Morning Jacket, Flaming Lips and The Polyphonic Spree, leading to supports for fellow Post Rockers Mono and Kinski at their headline London shows.

Initially compared to the likes of Godspeed You Black Emperor and Mogwai. Moly have since expanded their line up to include vocals and keyboards and are now exploring a wider sonic terrain first embarked on by Krautrockers Can and Neu adding their own melodic slant to create the Space Rock Electronica of their 2006 album Hello Shut Up.
