Hailing from the city of Bjelovar in Croatia, Them Moose Rush are a rock band unlike any other. Working in a genre fuelled by pomp and circumstance the Eastern European trio have always done things for themselves, and in doing so, done said things inimitably.
Combining vintage vibes with math-rock, prog and unusual time signatures their approach to making music explodes with innovation. From directing their own videos, hiding cyphers in songs (Morse code riffs for keyboards, anyone?) and simply rocking harder and faster than everyone else, Them Moose Rush return with their first offering since 2018’s critically acclaimed, Don’t Pick Your Noise.
“All of the songs on our new record are titled with names of our heroes dancing through a conceptual maze where every one of them has a unique path and goal to reach,” explains guitarist/vocalist, Nikola Runjavec. “Some of them are famous, but it just sounded weird and fun. For example, Dolly Parton is shaving her monkeys in one of our songs. It’s really a cool scene if you just try and imagine it.”
Leading the charge on behalf of new album Dancing Maze was new single, ‘Jude’s Got Another’. Heralding a radical shift in sound, style and substance, as you might expect, both song and video came with no shortage of DIY fanfare. Cats, balding Russian mobsters and volatile chemical compounds combined with searing angular riffs, devastating vocals and a neon battle tank of a rhythm section.
Unfortunately, due to the global COVID-19 crisis, Them Moose Rush have pushed the official release date of their new album back to 19th June 2020, but are asking fans to “Name Your Price” for their brilliant new single, ‘Jerry’s Bacon Flavored Vegan Potion’, right here – https://themmooserush.bandcamp.com/track/jerrys-bacon-flavored-vegan-potion
