Introducing… Moneytree - “The Great Indoors Part III”
Moneytree
The Great Indoors Part III (EP) | 25th October 2010
Moneytree return with the third part of The Great Indoors triptych. The record continues the theme of the previous two EP’s with the band collaborating with various musicians, producing an organic, exciting sound unique only to Moneytree.
The Great Indoors Part III takes the band’s intricate alternative sound to a whole new level. This record sees collaborations with Band Of Skulls on the track “Grave & Aloof” and Thomas Tantrum, The Moulettes and Histories Of Rosenberg on the song “World of Autumn”. The eclectic sound of the record is reinforced by a multitude of musicians playing a plethora of instruments including horns, cellos, likembe (thumb piano), a percussion group and even a saw!
The raw sound is brought together beautifully by producer Joe Gibb who has worked with The Kinks, David Bowie, Madonna, Leftfield and Million Dead and marks the return of singer Campbell Austin’s voice after a year long sabbatical due to a growth on his larynx. Not that you’d notice though. He shows no ill effects of the break with his voice showing-up fantastically on tracks such as “Medicineland”, which will be the track included on Sotones sampler 1,313.
The Science of Gambling is available to stream HERE and the EP is released on 25th October 2010.
