Boston garage soul outfit The Gypsy Moths is back with a new album of genre- and era-transcending music that will appeal to fans of The Rolling Stones’ R&B and World Party’s alternative rock as well as Ryan Hamilton’s power pop and The Dogmatics’ pub rock. On Following The Races, this awesome band – Steve O’Brien (lead vocals), Chris Conway (guitar, backing vocals, percussion, piano), Phil Thompson (bass, backing vocals), Mark Donahue (keyboards, piano), Matt Miceli (drums, percussion , timpani) and Scott Miller (saxophone, flute, clarinet) – throws a dance party that we can’t get enough of. You get eight upbeat songs full of hooks (the pleasure of playing is splashing), but also a sensitive Xmas tune with bells (Maybe This Christmas) that feels a bit out of place now (let’s save that one for December). Can someone make a video for closing track We Can’t Go Home, with footage from The Gypsy Moths movie (1969)?
Following The Races is out digitally and on CD through Rum Bar Records.
