"Moonbabies fill the empty spots with their own inventiveness and a sense for infectious pop melodies worth killing for. There is nothing in the wrong spot here; everything is planned but still the outcome doesn't lack intensity and creativity." - Broken Face Magazine
"They're not only diverse in the normal way (slow songs, fast songs, mid-tempo material), but sound like a different band each time they come to the plate. If I were to compare Carina's voice on each track of this record, I bet I'd come up with the name of a different female singer each time." -Splendid ezine
Here is some descriptive text from Moonbabies' website:
This album is the official debut release from Sweden's Moonbabies. It contains 14 songs (and a couple of short hidden tracks as well) which clocks in at about 52 minutes. It has been professionally printed in 800 copies with amazing artwork contained in a full-color 16-page CD-booklet! Released and distributed by Duckweed Records in the US, but it will hopefully be distributed by many other independent labels in other parts of the globe as well. The band has already started searching for other interesting labels to help out spreading this great album.
What about the music then? "Have you ever said Goodbye?" from their critically acclaimed debut 7 inch single "Air>>>moon>>>stereo e.p.", which also is included on the album, pretty much showed which way their music was heading, but on this album, diversity is speaking it's own language. The recording sessions started in January this year (2000) with (as usual) Carina and Ola doing the vocals and the rest of the instrumentation, except for a couple of the tracks in which they were helped out by their "live gig" members Conny Städe (on drums) and Måns Wieslander (on bass). They re-recorded and rearranged a couple of older songs, but five of the tracks, among them "I'm Insane but so are you" and "Winter Broken Time" were left as the original "demo" versions. And yes, There are some completely new and smashing tracks as well! "We're Layabouts", "Count Stars >>Be patient", "Because you can't explain", "Sister Gold" and "Kissing Underwater", all show the band's strongest achievement yet. Put them together with the re-mastered collection of almost unheard pop-classics, and you'll find "JUNE AND NOVAS" their most exiting release up to date.
Moonbabies also appear on the compilation albums Global Lo-fi Underground vol 3 and Duckweed Records Sampler 2000. Their 7 inch vinyl ep air>>>moon>>>stereo is also available through Duckweed Records.
