Things to Make and Do

Things to Make and Do represents the moment Moloko stepped out of the bedroom studio and into the spotlight of a live stage. It is an album that feels like a sophisticated urban night out, where the experimental grit of their Sheffield roots meets a new, polished sense of musicality. The transition from purely electronic sequencing to a heavy reliance on live musicians gives the record a breathing, organic pulse that was rare in the turn-of-the-millennium dance scene. It is stylish and slightly eccentric, yet deeply grounded in classic soul and disco sensibilities.
