NL Premiere

Expanding from their electronic project Raime, musicians Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews invited percussionist Valentina Magaletti (Vanishing Twin, Tomaga, and many others) to form Moin – a group who recontextualize a range of guitar-based genres – grunge, shoegaze, and post-rock – through an enigmatic reimagining of the traditional band dynamic. AD 93 mainstays, their debut album for the label, the fuzzed-out post-rock Moot! (2020), was followed up by the dark wavey tones of Paste (2022). Their slanted and Slint-ed guitars and effervescent percussion return on latest offering You Never End (2024), a post-hardcore opus that brings in exciting vocal collaborators to contribute, including Irish-underground “heavy pop” star Olan Monk, artist and writer Sophia Al-Maria, and musician Coby Sey, among others. Returning to Rewire, after debuting in the Netherlands at the festival in 2023, the trio will be performing with these three special vocal collaborators, who each bring a special dimension to Moin’s apocalyptic post-everything sound – marking a new, burgeoning phase for the group.
