THE ALBUM
The current album ‘PEDALLING IN THE FAST LANE’ was recorded at Grove Studios in Brighton making use of the Brighton Musicians collective spirit where musicians and friends exchange musical favours and help each other out on various projects. By the time the recording is complete I will have used probably around thirty of the best local musicians that I am fortunate to call friends. I am very grateful for their help.
The music of MOOOSE is based upon the big band sound of Parliament and the funk bands of the 70’s but because of my wide range of musical influences there are some reggae style tracks, African, hip hop and even (shock horror) a jazz track. The emphasis of the music is to inspire people to get into the groove, dance and have a great time but there is also a commentary aspect to the lyrics with a view to raising awareness on various social and political issues. For example the song ‘Change’ was inspired by and written about the turmoil and genocide in East Timor that was ignored / covered up by the media.
