The unlikely duo of Berlin-based Murmur Tooth (aka Leah Hinton), a New Zealand multi-instrumentalist and singer from the heavy metal and classical persuasion, and British-German House DJ and producer Lars Moston, have been exploring how their polar-opposite musical backgrounds can clash and combine.
Their debut full length album “No Time To Explain“, released on Friday, is a unique ensemble of genre-wandering, hooky songs that combine Leah's composition skills and vocal hooks with Lars's production magic. The tracks are dripping with layered harmonies and bursting with the weird and wonderful sounds of half-broken instruments, salvaged childhood toys, and repurposed household appliances. There really isn't time to explain, you'll just have to listen...
The first single, “Antidote”, was released in October 2022 and entered the German Club Charts at #21, was Top 10 in the Apple Music charts in Mexico, Greece, Nepal and Niger, and was Claptone’s “Claptune of the week”. The next singles, “Now Is Love”, “Radio Silence”, “David Attenborough” and “Poison” followed, accompanied by stonking remixes by David Keno (Club Sweat / Dirtybird), Renato Cohen (Pets Recordings), C’mon (Saved / Superfett), Claus Casper (True Romance / Exploited) and Daniel Jaeger (Katermukke / Criminal Bassline). The strength of these remixes pushed the releases into the Club Charts, despite the pop song nature of the original album tracks.
"No Time to Explain" is available on all digital platforms.
