The Moonbabies take lush indie rock and electronica and pour them into a cohesive soundscape of sonic experimentation and hummable pop. Their new album is a towering masterpiece on par with similar works like Broken Social Scene's You Forget It In People and Air's Moon Safari." --Cut the Cord

?There's just something intrinsically pleasing about the pairing of synthesizers and acoustic guitars, but since folks started figuring this out en masse (somewhere around the time Beth Orton hit the scene), listeners have been in perpetual danger of too much of a good thing. Swedish duo the Moonbabies have managed to stay on the right side of familiar through varying their approach. As a result, their fourth full-length album ranges from the Air-like bliss-out 21st Century Heart to a folky little guitar i [ read more ]

Are Moonbabies at the head of an underground Midnight Oil appreciation league? On War on Sound -- their post-Orange Billboard mini-album -- Ola Frick and Carina Johansson perfect the grace of Blue Sky Mining's "Stars of Warburton."
