Moon Theory

Moon Theory is an engaging synthesis of cyber rock, trip-hop, and electronica. Catchy songwriting and rich, futuristic production are complemented by the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Kaeti O’Ghara, whose silky voice offers both allure and versatility. Equally impressive are Moon Theory’s lyrics, which somehow manage to convey deep meaning without being cerebral – transporting the listener to a colorful world rich in imagery, color and antiquity.

Supporting Kaeti’s vocals are the alchemical electronic beats, atmospheres and guitars performed by producer TSO. From down-tempo and intoxicating to aggressive, the music communicates with curious personality, yet remains familiar and accessible. The stylish blend of digital wizardry, dark driving hip-hop elements, and psychedelic permutations make Moon Theory great fun to get lost in, while a clear undercurrent of earthen magic and social relevance offer refreshing and compelling depth.

Fans of Garbage, Björk, Nine Inch Nails, Morcheeba, Radiohead etc. will certainly enjoy, as will anyone who requires accessible melodies with their potent doses of futuristic chaos and dreamy gothic sensuality.

Moon Theory began simply as a study in trip-hop imbued with rock songwriting sensibilities, and evolved into a surprising interplay of various polarities – for example, the coming together of shamanic imagery with that of scientific influences. This unusual coalescence is most obvious in the lyrics – "Shapeshifter" being a prime example – yet is also prevalent in the soundscape itself, such as the song "Mother" with its weaving of organic and electronic elements. Also striking is Moon Theory’s poignant philosophical commentary as evidenced in the song ‘Feed Your Master’ – a powerful and intensely disturbing satire of corporate media manipulation and consumerism.

Based in San Francisco, Moon Theory is currently performing live in support of their debut self-titled album with a second release currently in pre-production. Recent news can be found at www.moontheory.net.
