Silver Moth collective featuring Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite announce debut album with first outing "Mother Tongue"

"Mother Tongue" is the first preview of Silver Moth's Black Bay album, which was created in early 2021 by Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite, Elisabeth Elektra, Evi Vine, Steven Hill, and members of Abrasive Trees, Burning House and Prosthetic Head following a Twitter exchange between Abrasive Trees guitarist/songwriter Matthew Rochford and musician Elisabeth Elektra about the Isle of Lewis.

Rochford, Elektra, Vine, Braithwaite, Hill, drummer Ash Babb and cellist Ben Roberts tracked the songs across four days at Great Bernera’s Black Bay Studios on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.

Elektra says, "Because we didn’t know each other before we went to Black Bay, we went into a really intense creative mode as soon as we got there. We were in a bubble and there was a lot of collective grief going on, so it was like a pressure cooker, but I think some real beauty came out of it."

Tracklist:

1. Henry
2. The Eternal
3. Mother Tongue
4. Gaelic Psalms
5. Hello Doom
6. Sedna
