Music

Music

Mosspit are currently writing and recording. Guitars, bass, drums, fiddle, bodhrán, whistle, harmonica and whatever survives the session.

Coming soon

The first releases will appear here.

The sound moves through Irish traditional instrumentation, rock, punk, folk and grunge without being trapped by any one of them. The song decides what stays.

The music is the part they agree on.

The players

Seven people, one arrangement at a time

Finn sings and picks up the harmonica when a song asks for it. Gráinne plays lead. Bricriu holds the bottom end. Balor drives everything from drums and bodhrán. Morrigan's fiddle moves between traditional, mournful and abrasive. Peig's percussion arrives exactly once and matters. Puck's whistle darts through a verse and is gone again.

Recording continues.
