Poor Moi

Bringing intricate melodies woven through thought-provoking tales straight from the gut, Poor Moi simultaneously navigates Scottish indie/folk music whilst wandering the avenues of Americana.

This brand new collective, fronted by folk and roots singer-songwriter Memphis Gerald, brings together experienced session musicians who now branch out to write their own material in a unique style, where notes of traditional Americana meet modern music innovation. The themes are contemporary and relatable while drawing on influences from a different time. Combining heart-rending lap steel and country guitar licks with synths, contemporary grooves and everyday tales of emotional turmoil in bleak and sodden landscapes, the sound is at once familiar and yet like nothing you've heard before.

Poor Moi's new single 'Tiny Circles', currently available for streaming on iTunes, Spotify and YouTube, is an all-too-familiar internal monologue for modern times. Sometimes you need to have a conversation with yourself to stay afloat and keep your head above water.
