Moes Haven — (Sh)oc(k)tober Buy it at Amazon

Buy it from InSound

I give up. Music is dead to me. I couldn’t set out to write a song a day for a year and compile the best into an album per month. But Moes Haven have. And are. And will be for at least two more albums. One of which will include a song that I challenged them to write for little old me. I’ll honestly be honored because I feel like I’ve spent an eternity working on the very few albums that I’ve put out over a decade or so of me playing music, whereas Moes Haven have already put out more albums this year than I probably will my entire life. And the trick is that they’re very rarely offering songs that are mere fodder. Indeed most of these songs beat the pants off any Grammy-nominated album—often showing their varied influence as it bounces from genre to genre (dude “X-Mas Evil” sounds like an off-Broadway showtune!!!), yet still somewhat seamlessly. Amazing guys, amazing. And after I heard this collection of tunes about horror movies, I can’t wait to hear what you’ll write me. Thanks for making me feel like the worst thing to happen to music since Kevin Federline.
