Indie-psych-orch-garage-rock practitioner Richard Davies, a.k.a. the moles, has held a seminal but secret role in the history of the alternative music scene since the 1990's. He's a songwriter’s favorite songwriter, appreciated by Kurt Cobain, the Flaming Lips, Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices, and Gruff Rhys of the Super Furry Animals, and among many others.
The story of the moles is a globe-trotting labyrinth that started in the late 1980's in Sydney, Australia. Davies, born to Welsh immigrants, never felt like he belonged to a place, or a scene - he had an outsider's perspective. He’d read music magazines to discover bands, without hearing them - literally - since he was born hearing-impaired. Bands from the other side of the world were like mysteries for him to solve.
