Portland (USA) based doomgaze duo Lazy Legs will release their sophomore album, Moth Mother, on vinyl format on 25th September via Tartarus Records. The band initially self-released it in November 2019 as a cassette and digital format.

Filled with thick distortion, ghostly vocals and songs that deal with anxiety, trauma and other mental health issues. Moth Mother is a departure from the band's previous work, leaning into more raw, darkened territory. Crushing blocks of guitar distortion stand next to calm interludes, all coated by pensive, reverb-laden vocal harmonies. The album strikes a balance between gentle resignation and smothering depression, whilst maintaining a serene sense of catharsis. Songs such as "It's True" are emblematic of this feeling, seemingly perfect as the soundtrack to a prom night ending in tears.

Recorded entirely in the duo's home basement studio, Moth Mother offers a dose of lo-fi shoegaze, grunge, slowcore and doomgaze, with big influences from True Widow, Duster and Low. The entire album is available for streaming and you can hear it in the player below. Link
