Moloko

A career-spanning collection of Sheffield's finest eccentric dance-pop, moving from quirky trip-hop experiments to sophisticated, orchestral disco-house anthems.

Catalogue is a masterclass in the art of the musical pivot. It captures the singular journey of Moloko, a duo that began as a surrealist trip-hop experiment in Sheffield and ended as one of the most sophisticated dance-pop acts in the world. The first disc is a chronological highlight reel, showcasing how Róisín Murphy's vocals evolved from breathy, abstract whispers into the commanding, soulful presence of a true disco diva. It is music that feels both high-fashion and deeply human, balancing icy electronic precision with the warmth of orchestral arrangements and genuine emotional stakes.

Moments Worth Listening For
the transition from the slinky studio version of Sing It Back to the explosive, brass-led live finale
the moment the acoustic guitar hook of The Time Is Now gives way to a lush, orchestral swell
the jittery, surrealist spoken-word opening of Fun for Me that defined their early 90s weirdness
the raw, emotional vulnerability in the previously unreleased Bankrupt Emotionally closing the first disc
