IMHO: Roisin is a trip, one of the most creative singers EVER. She uses her voice to make sounds I didn't know could be made, takes risks, explores her own melodies... she just plainly rocks. I knew we were off to a good start when I heard their debut album "Do you like my tight sweater?". It's so fucking amazing. So ahead of its time, so futuristic, so creative, so out there, so dark. She has this specialty of making these psycho little voices, as if her songs were populated by lost yappy children. I saw them live and flippppped. After that album they have released three more, and i love all of them. Roisin is about to make her solo debut with "Ruby Blue". What I've heard online sounds a lot like Moloko, but looking forward to hear the whole thing.

FAVOURITE SONGS: "Lotus Eaters", "Party Weirdo", "Things to make and do" as a whole.
FAVOURITE ALBUMS: "Things to make and do", "Do you like my tight sweater?"
