Joe Moore (9)

UK Musician, songwriter and producer, based in Oxford. The amount and diversity of the albums he has released and produced for Elefant Records since 2011 is unparalleled. Everything started with THE YEARNING’s “Jukebox Romance” (2012), full of delicacy and painstaking artwork in marvelous chamber pop, reminiscent of those girl groups from the 50s. Since then, he has made music with Lia Pamina; he has produced R’n’B and electronic pop for Maddie Mae; and he has written eighties-style Italo Disco and europop with CRISTINA QUESADA. He has also collaborated with Julie Big (ex-singer from LE SUPERHOMARD) on the JULIE ET JOE project, with which he paid a well-deserved tribute to 80s French pop (ELLI ET JACNO, LIO, MIKADO…). He explored electronic pop with Holly Vanags under the name THE PERFECT KISS, and, together with Luci Ashbourne, paid tribute to ABBA, to disco music, and 70s pop in general on his last album with THE YEARNING in 2020. SUNLIT is the new project by Joe Moore dedicated to shoegazing and dream pop. Ethereal guitars, the spirit of bands like COCTEAU TWINS, CIGARETTES AFTER SEX, RICHARD HAWLEY, MAZZY STAR, THE STONE ROSES or BEACH HOUSE drifting through, crystalline melodies, high voltage melancholy, emotions right on the surface.
