34. Moths - "Septem"

Another short but highly effective album. This is a 25-minute dash through all seven of the deadly sins via the medium of jaunty prog. Hailing from Puerto Rico, Moths bring a distinctive Latin groove to the world of shifting time signatures and playful tempos. Whilst it is full of technical prowess, there is a warmth to the sound. It is an ever-changing kaleidoscope of sounds, and it is mind-boggling how much musical ground is covered in such a short time. At the heart of it all is Mariel Viruet's versatile vocals, instantaneously shifting from soaring, haunting croons to howling, screaming aggression. Brilliantly different.
