From Mooncake MySpace Mooncake is a Moscow post-rock band founded early 2006 comprised of two guitars, a bass, cello/keyboards and drums. Since then the band has made a name for itself having developed its own style and become quiet popular among connoisseurs of genre both home and abroad.
Most critics emphasize that Mooncake have successfully revised such conservative genre as post-rock and its clichés. In the end the band came up with its own style and sound that one can easily recognize. Their tracks are very atmospheric complying fast, positive and catchy melodies on the one hand and basilisk, ponderate canvases on the other. The ideal balance between rapture and grief has always been Mooncake’s distinctive feature.
By now Mooncake performed at one stage together with such bands as Explosions In The Sky, Russian Circles, God Is An Astronaut, Mum, Somebody Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Dalek.
In summer 2007 Mooncake released their debut single “More Oxygen, I Said…” that was warmly welcomed by listeners and received promising reviews. Since then Mooncake started performing permanently at top clubs of Moscow like “16 Tons”, “B2″, “Ikra”, “B1″, etc.
In February 2008 the band began recording its first LP.
By May 2008 the CD “Lagrange Points” was finally released. The LP was deeply appreciated both by listeners and critics. TheSillentBallet.com – the largest resource on instrumental music – published a rapt review of “Lagrange Points” having graded it 8 points out of possible 10.
Later in summer 2008 Mooncake was signed to an independent US label “Cavity Records” that released a digital version of “Lagrange Points”.
