In pop music, the 1980s remain inescapable, but in the electronic realm, the 1990s currently reign supreme. The sounds of trance, jungle, garage, and IDM have all experienced a major resurgence in recent years; somehow things have reached a point where even electronica is being reevaluated and the average club kid often looks like an extra from
The Fifth Element.
Moinâs debut album,
Moot!, is heavily indebted to the â90s as well. But instead of mining of classic Aphex Twin and Goldie records for inspiration, the UK outfitâwhich consists of Raimeâs Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead along with percussionist and longtime collaborator Valentina Magaletti, whoâs also logged time in the group Tomagaâdives deep into post-punk and post-hardcore, worshipping at the altar of bands like Slint, Shellac, and Unwound.
