Bio
Bonding over a shared love of the obscure and a mutual desire to make dynamic, multi-dimensional genre-hopping music, Mothbreather formed in 2020 and spent two years honing their craft and perfecting their idiosyncratic sounds under cover of darkness, until they were ready to unleash themselves on the unsuspecting music scene of their native Manchester in the January of 2022.
A series of shows followed, with the four-piece taking to myriad stages across the North West, piquing the interest of fans and industry alike. It’s not just on stage where the band turns heads, however. The sludgy funk of debut single ‘Disco Macabre’ was a bold statement of intent from the band that showcased just how eclectic the quartet are.
Mothbreather have since used the momentum from their growing infamy to record and release the singles “Project Graham”, five minutes of swimmy, psychedelic alt-rock, “Eat Wheat, Yeah”, a broody musing on death and labour and "Do You Love Me, Judy?" an industrial balladic anthem dealing with themes of young love and spontaneous combustion.
Press
“Whether you’re a post-punk and art-rock fan, or want to listen to something more unorthodox, Mothbreather has you covered. In terms of musicianship, production, and performance, this band has a little bit of everything to turn you into a new follower.”

- Reyt Good Music
“A band both beguiling and batshit crazy.”
