A scrumptious treat courtesy of Paris’s still-enlightening Radio Nova (101.5 FM) in January 2008, “Rear Moth” was so compelling that I ordered a copy of the CD immediately (and, after I received it and had played it a dozen times, went out and bought the copy of Psapp’s Hi at the nearest music store that night). It’s a lovely intertwining of playful and celestial elements. I wouldn’t tire of a 20-minute version of the title track as long as it featured those gorgeous swaying vocal harmonies and gently bumptious rhythm, and “Rear Moth” continues to delight me.
