Moonrats
Moonrats are giving indie rock its soul back. Founded by former Pretty Girls Make Graves guitarist Nathan Thelen, Moonrats combine melancholy arrangements and dissonant textures with smoky atmospherics and an understated muscular delivery that drifts across the listener’s ears like a soft caress by bruised knuckles.
Rounded out by drummer Jason Echeverria and keyboardist Aska Matsumiya, this Los Angeles by way of Seattle, trio has found fertile creative territory with a self-released, self-titled EP. Featuring vocal performances by all three members, this early document reveals a multi-layered sonic depth that, for all its murky haze, reveals a vastness and breadth of vision emerging over a horizon much broader than what most bands will see in a lifetime. In this light it becomes clear that unlike many of their peers who sound like they’ve been spending every waking hour shopping for tight pants and grooming their ironic hipster moustaches, Moonrats have been staying up late crafting music with substance.
