The duo of Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon mixed dance rhythms with off-kilter pop across four albums in the 1990s and early 2000s.
For their signature mix, try 'Sing It Back' with its house pulse, then 'Finally (love Story)' for that voice at its most elastic.
Moloko's 'Sing It Back' became a dance floor staple thanks to Boris Dlugosch's house remix, but their catalog runs deeper than that one hit. Songs like 'Finally (love Story)' and 'Being Is Bewildering' show how Murphy's voice could shift from playful to haunting within a single track. Their sound was electronic pop with a distinctive personality that never quite fit the mainstream mold.
Mark Brydon and Róisín Murphy started working together in 1994, releasing their first album 'Do You Like My Tight Sweater?' the following year. They made four studio albums before ending their partnership after 2003's 'Statues', with Murphy pursuing a solo career and Brydon continuing in production.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
