Moin - You never end (2024)
Moin's third album, You Never End, released on October 25, 2024, marks a significant evolution in the band's sound, blending experimental rock with post-hardcore elements. The London-based trio, comprising Tom Halstead, Joe Andrews (both of Raime), and percussionist Valentina Magaletti, incorporates guest vocalists such as Olan Monk, James K, Coby Sey, and Sophia Al-Maria, adding a humanizing layer to their intricate compositions. Critics praise the album's dynamic range and innovative approach, noting that tracks like "It's Messy Coping" seamlessly merge techno rhythms with post-hardcore intensity, while "C'mon Dive" features chopped vocal samples reminiscent of jungle music, propelled by Magaletti's colossal drumming. The inclusion of guest vocals is highlighted as a pivotal development, with Sophia Al-Maria's performance on "Lift You" standing out for its evocative delivery, adding depth to the band's sonic exploration. Overall, You Never End is considered Moin's most complex and emotive work to date, embracing dub rhythms and shoegaze guitar textures to create an atmospheric experience that resonates with the current musical zeitgeist.
