about

This is the fourth album by Moxie And The Nobodies, "Spirograph Sunset (The World's First Interactively Recorded Album)". It features the 12 highest voted songs (out of 52) recorded in "The World's First Interactively Recorded Album" livestream project (#TWFIRA).

Thanks to the wonderful backers on Patreon the project ran for 52 weeks where each weekly recording session would be live-streamed on Youtube and the audience would interact with the musician and tell us what instruments to play and help us write the lyrics.

With themes ranging from Complete Radiation Devastation, Scam Emails From Nigeria and Famous And Exceedingly Wealthy Tramps! It draws influence from such artists as Beck, Ween and Faith No More. This album brings a blend of friendly nihilism and absurdity wrapped up in a tasty alt-rock package.

This once-in-a-lifetime project (5 years in the making) was the first of its kind. And I'm not saying that it was ahead of its time with its live streaming music creation and performance... but considering the world now due to the pandemic... it totally was!

The three featured tracks are:

“Nigerian Jackpot”
- A blues-rock song (a bit Steely Dan-ish), about a highly implausible email that arrives in the main character's inbox one morning. Is it a scam or is it real? He might just lose his mind trying to find out!

“Everybody Is Insane”
- An alt-rock song about a seemingly wealthy but contradictory vagrant who is exceedingly famous. With contradictory lyrics and a catchy chorus, this one will stick in your mind. (a bit TISM like)

“Dancing In A Nuclear Wasteland”
- A story about a young corporate go-getter with no conscience, dancing outside in the nuclear wasteland that he has helped bring about. Curiously the verse sounds a bit like it's sung by actor Christopher Walken. With a light rock vibe, the solo guitar in this track will transfer you to a future where radiation suits are a must!

The livestreams showing the realtime writing, recording and collaboration with the audience of all of the tracks off this album can be watched on Youtube, as well as edited down videos of the streams: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzspzI6LTW0&list=PLKLydj7fCFDf4BgaxrGiFjDO1qGbRznkk
