Dave Graney & Clare Moore release In A Mistly on Friday

Clare Moore and Dave Graney (of The Moodists notoriety) are releasing their pandemic project In A Mistly this Friday. 

Here's the scoop...

A rock album. Guitars, drums, bass and vocals. Some vibes and keys –oh and some saxophone. 

Four songs recorded with the mistLY- i.e. the band with Stu Thomas on bass and Stuart Perera on guitar and eight songs on which Dave Graney and Clare Moore play all instruments. And three songs on which Dave Wray plays sax. 

“This is the album we meant to do before Everything Was Funny. Restrictions on movement around Melbourne delayed it, but we kept the songs back that we wanted to play with the mistLY. ” 

Starts with Silver Bullets, a song about feeling so good you know you’re bound to screw things up pretty soon. A couple of songs – The Old Swagger and How Can I Be Old - about being old – or just noticing that situation being in effect. Tang is a song about the virtual life and the virtual (lack of ) sensory experience set to a tight new wave beat. Everybody has at some time or other has said- or been told - We Need Cash (She Said). 

And everybody, on walking around their city has come across a once familiar (now suddenly alien) corner or block and asked What Used To be There? 

The whole album is very 70’s in tone. Two songs about rock music culture, the almost rockabilly Thanks To the Women For Dancing and the swinging, blue and black leathery Velvets MC. 

The musically rich (accidental) trilogy of We Get Life, Now You Must Die and Where Are You In The Underworld? 

The album ends on a Roxy Music like long tail with the R&B glam jazz groove out of You Are The World on which Dave Wray blows his horn clean out.
