Moulettes Acoustic  

Following a summer season of Acoustic and Electric shows Moulettes are delighted to announce a Canadian & UK Acoustic Tour in continued celebration of their gigantic & groundbreaking fifth album project, Xenolalia.

Stretching the boundaries of expectation as they move between Cellos, classical & steel string Guitars, Viola, Piano, Violin, Harp, Percussion & harmony vocals, be prepared to question all you think you know about the traditional chamber ensemble! This is eclectic music for Indie, Experimental, Folk and Classical lovers alike; a delicious interplay of dramatic orchestration, big riffs, string baths & kaleidoscopic lushness.

Through this daring ensemble, Moulettes explore the resonant beauty of these acoustic instruments with ambition, ingenuity and poise. Choosing to play in-the-round wherever possible, the crowd encircle the band, close enough to become part of the sixth-sense synergy that makes ensemble playing so magical to witness.  

The musical tension between the Acoustic & Electric outfits has informed everything that the Moulettes have done up till now, but Xenolalia sees this ongoing duel in their mission explode into 3 more ensembles.

Xenolalia is 55 pieces of music; 11 songs told 5 ways by 5 ensembles: Acoustic, Electric, A Cappella, Horns & Electronica.  It will culminate in a double vinyl release of both Electric and Acoustic ensembles facing off;  whilst supported by Horns, Acapella and Electronica versions in an epic collection of bonus digital material.
