Moose

...XYZ

September, 1992

Alternative Pop/Rock

Showcasing a new sound for Moose after the hazy guitar effects experimentation of their first three EPs, their debut album focused on songcraft and sophisticated pop instead.

Folksongs

Connie Converse spent much of the 1950s living in New York City, trying to make a career as a musician with practically no success. However, she unwittingly invented many of the tropes of confessional singer-songwriters of the '60s and '70s, though no one outside of her closest friends ever heard her work. This collection of informally recorded living room sessions documents a thoroughly unique musician and lyricist years ahead of her time.
