Mark Lohmann who works as Moon Moon Moon comes from a familiar place. Latest album Silly Symphonies, is a set of field recordings which come across as bed time stories for disconcerted children, the sound of a cosy suburban family house being put to bed late at night.
With song titles names taken from Thirties Disney horts, this is bedroom folk a set of npcturnal narratives of warmth and love. Musically I was reminded of some kind of holy union between Sufjan Stevens and Belle & Sebastian, comparison points which should give you a sense of the sense of melody and wonder at play here.
An altogether lovely collection of songs. The melodic similarities to other artists and in the case of Sufjan, evident stylistic debt, is sufficiently evident to ensure that Silly Symphonies, falls short of classic status. I've heard this before essentially , but its an altogether lovely listen nonetheless.
