Moscowine has been described by Scene as "too intellectual and esoteric for one more familiar with the simple joys". The Consensus said lots of good things which aren't very quotable and in "something ... makes me feel like I'd have to be gay to like them," one perplexing thing that is. Moscowine is a band from Brisbane. It has a lot of vintage organs, strings, hand claps and literary pretensions. Sometimes it is rampantly homosexual. Alphabetically speaking, Tim Fairless plays church organ, Hammond organ and bass. Vivian Farrell drums. Gerard Lawrence plays electric guitar. Shannon Luk plays violin, viola, cello, double bass and baroque recorder, and Ronnie Scott plays acoustic and electric guitars, Casio, ukulele and sings. Moscowine identifies as Southern Gothic. Usually a genre of novel, the Southern Gothic juxtaposes stereotypes of the American south and supernatural elements to capture “an intuition, of an underlying dreadfulness in modern experience.” When it’s got enough bourbon in it, Moscowine is known to stray back to the Old World and sing about crushes on old gods. This is usually done in hick clothes, though, anyway. As you can see, Moscowine thinks it’s powerful clever and shows a healthy appetite for irony. It values sincerity above all else. Moscowine is preoccupied with cigarettes, scenes, cooking and demons. Its new half-hour EP, Street Justice: The Crusade for Monogamy, comes out in June.
