Album Notes & Community Reviews

Having fully shed their early shoegaze affiliations, Moose embrace an incredibly lush, warmly orchestrated brand of chamber-pop on 'Live a Little, Love a Lot'. The album bathes intricate jangle-pop melodies in sweeping string arrangements and soft, highly romanticized production. It serves as a beautifully overlooked, sun-drenched high-water mark of sophisticated 90s British indie pop.
