Brian Moss Discography of CDs

Brian Moss CD discography Branching out from the Postal Service-like acoustic guitar plus laptop sound of Hanalei's debut, singer/songwriter Brian Moss built a full band around himself for Parts and Accessories. The change does him good: this is a far more enjoyable and less derivative-sounding album than We Are All Natural Disasters, filled with energetic indie rock songs beholden to no particular subgenre. Hints of alt-country (like ...

Brian Moss albums Best known as the principal singer/songwriter in post-punk outfit the Ghost, Brian Moss takes his first solo turn under the banner of Hanalei with stellar results. Fusing pieces of folk, country, pop, and even bits of electronica, We Are All Natural Disasters is a routinely somber but equally peaceful set of music. Much of the material is inspired by heartache, including standouts like ...

Brian Moss music CDs The Ghost is the average college indie rock band, playing songs that convey emotion without relying on thunderous guitar sequences or screechy bellowing. Actually, This Is a Hospital is an album that is unnaturally laid-back, despite Brian Moss' slight tendency to holler out lyrics as if they were too painful to be contained. Shane Stevens' melodic guitar playing keeps the tone light, skipping ...

Antimatter is an experimental project delving into atmospheric mood rock. Led by multi-instrumentalists Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema) and Michael Moss and featuring various different singers, Antimatter's 2002 debut, Saviour, is a varied affair, couching delicate, almost gothic voices and melodies into softly pulsing electronic rhythmic foundations. Fittingly, the album's barren, ultra-white artwork provides the perfect trailer for the stark, austere compositions within; it also recalls ...

Don't believe it if you're told that Ballydowse resembles the Pogues, Oysterband, and early Waterboys. Sure, they occasionally utilize mandolin, bodhran, fiddle, and pipes but their style is more closely associated with that of Crashdog, a previous incarnation of Ballydowse which included vocalist Andrew Mandell and bass player Brian Grover. It's predominantly the punk vocals and crunch rhythm that dictates the course of these songs. Dave Baumgartner's fiddle certainly adds seasoning -- be it Celtic or Klezmer -- and the presence of didjeridu may give the false impression that they're influenced by Aboriginal music, but Ballydowse are essentially a punk-rock outfit who are willing to incorporate folksy accents into their music, thus separating themselves from the other groups who can't figure out how to make punk music interesting. ~ Dave Sleger Personnel: Andrew Mandell (vocals); Brian Moss (throat singing); Bryan Gray (guitar); Brian Grover (bullroarer, didjeridu, bodhran); David Baumgartner (violin); Tony Krogh (Uilleann pipe, bagpipe); Chris White (drums).
