Moonfire

When your first EP wins you accolades like rolling stone's artist to watch of 2011 and Australia's prestigious Triple J unearthed artist of the year, not to mention wooing fans the world over - including the likes of Laura Marling and Marcus Mumford, no less - there's only one thing you can do for your debut album: confound expectations. Cheifly falling somewhere between Mumford's earnest folkiness, leader cheetah's after the Goldrush retro-romanticism and band of horses' radiant country-pop harmonies, 'moon fire' also puts feelers out in the direction of '60s psych (check the hints of manic organ on 'golden jubilee') and even Krauty excursions.
