The die is cast… With such a name, the very first album of Moriarty can’t leave us indifferent. It sounds like an unavoidable invitation through the countrysides… whatever the name of the country is.
The lyrics take us from fields to towns, lonesome ones. The music itself is timeless.
The Kid with the Harmonica (Thomas M.) sounds like a worshipper of the Diva’ s voice (Rosemary M.). The Cowboy Guitar Player (Arthur M.) and The Lord of Guitar (Charles M.) walk along the river of this haunting voice. The Professor on Double-bass (Stephen M.) and The Suitcases Player (Vincent M.) are both hypnotized by the atmosphere… fingers on the strings. The rhythm is given.
Moriarty is a unique family story from all around the world. Indeed some members of the band are from the States, France, Switzerland or even Vietnam. But they made the choice to use the same family name to make it easier, crazier, “Morartier “.
On stage, they make us forget our reality. The cabaret-like atmosphere they create take us on the road through real american folk. Jack Kerouac is never very far away. Simply elegant. Their very first influence comes from the american blues of the 30′ s to which they managed to add new ones such as jazz, traditional music from Mali or Ireland and electronic sounds.
Since this album was released (October the 9th ), I have been travelling quite a lot and I wish you to do the same listening to it…
They will be touring around France until May 2008.
Please Enjoy !
