Maud The Moth - The Distaff (2025)
"The Distaff" is an ambitious and deeply introspective album exploring themes of femininity, identity, and personal agency. Built around acoustic piano and ethereal vocals, the record weaves elements of neoclassical, avant-garde, and dark folk into its soundscape. Tracks like "Siphonophores" feature dissonant instrumentation juxtaposed with delicate melodies, highlighting the album’s dynamic tension between restraint and catharsis. Guest contributions from Seb Rochford (drums) and Alison Chesley (cello) add further depth to the record. While haunting and evocative, The Distaff challenges listeners with its complex, emotionally layered compositions.
