'Like their Lower East Side ancestors The Velvet Underground, The Moths' sound is sometimes aggressive and at other times tempered and melodic. Moths blaze a trail similar to the long lamented Pixies and the ragged glory of Dinosaur Jr. with a driving jagged-edged guitar attack that never seems to run out of fresh ideas. The key to their charisma is the band's rollercoaster use of dynamics, which rise and fall as if they were in a live performance before a packed house.' Amplifier Magazine The Moths home base runs between the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Lepid Opera is their second full length CD. For this album, the boys went back to the green garage in Garfield, New jersey, produced it themselves with mixing help from Andy Halasz and Roger Peltzman. Although their music runs the gamut from the opening roar of 'Walk into the Sun', the sardonic pop of 'Enthuiastic Loser', the haunted country of 'Holler', and the bittersweet finish of 'Sea Shanty', you'll find it's all good and hits you where you live.
