Moolah – Woe, Ye Demons Possessed” (1974) review
Moolah “Woe, Ye Demons Possessed” (Annuit Coeptis, 1974)
To be completely honest with you guys this record is
completely new to me. I discovered this band while reading a description of one
of my favorite current bands Moon Duo. From the facts that I gathered and these
could be wrong, this is a duo from the United States around the New York state
area circa 1973-1974. Immediately from listening to this record I am quite
shocked that this didn’t originate from Germany because the Krautrock sound is
very apparent, perhaps a Silver Apples influence? With keyboard drones and
weird pulsating effects I can only imagine the synth setup these guys had, all
backed by some pretty free form sounding drums. If I had to give them a
description I guess “Early American Sour Kraut”. It took me forever
to find audio files of the album online but Youtube does has some of the tracks
uploaded. Listen for yourself and let the music make your judgments for you.
