I guess today we are in the mood for melodic folk! 10-15 years ago we would have never guessed this development in our lives, when we (read: I) almost dispised anything lacking a distorted instrument of any kind… It must be said though that it seems like – for some obscure reason – your average roosty band is MUCH better than your average indie or modern rock band, and this is probably why we end up reviewing many folky album from the ones bands submit digitally here.
But we digress… Mahoney & The Moment is a boy girl duo that’s so friggin’ new they haven’t even been together for a year yet. Oh, and they are talented, young, and, from what we hear, in love. Yeah, sometimes you can hear "real" love in a song (not pretended love), and although many W’burg hipsters might find this entire concept supremely cheesy, it’s actually a truly beautiful and somehow contagious thing (and yes, my inner 18 years old can’t believe what I just said…) The band has already a full length out, played The National Underground a few days ago, and – according to their Facebook notes – are planning to tour the US and Europe in 2012!
