Album Review: Mmoths Luneworks

Though he’s not yet 23 (let’s take a moment to let that sink in folks), Jack Colleran, aka electro producer MMOTHS, has been keeping fans waiting – eagerly it has to be said – for the release of this debut LP for a whole three years now. EPs MMOTHS and Diaries whetted appetites for chillwave back in 2012 and 2013 respectively, before Colleran hid himself away to work on this more experimental 14-tracker.
Continuing in the abstract direction he began to take on Diaries, for starters Luneworks is as haunting and ethereal as we’ve come to expect from the Kildare man. At times unsettling, eerie moments like intro ‘You’, and interludes ‘Phase 1’ and ‘Scent’, melt into the dreamiest of glitchy, ambient electro. Think of the most mellow, hazy, ‘everyone back to mine at 3am’ house party you’ve ever been at, and imagine the ideal soundtrack to those warm, dreamy hours before sunrise.
Yep, that’s Luneworks in a nutshell. Well worth checking out.
