HOMOGENOUS FEELS by molejoy
A LOVE LETTER TO MOLEJOY - https://vimeo.com/748188258
molejoy is Sophie Chapman (bass), Giles Bunch (guitar) and Kerri Jefferis (drums), vocals by all.
Homogenous Feels was recorded live at Set Studios, New Cross (London) on Friday 27th August 2021, as part of HERE FOR A GOOD TIME NOT A LONG TIME - a retrospective exhibition by Sophie + Kerri.
This tape contains a recording of the last ever molejoy gig. Their knack for a hook shines beyond any limitations, Raincoats-esque unpolished enthusiasm and something-for-everyone lyrics: radicalised babies, gazza, the military industrial complex and dildos. Plus bonus molejoy covers, by some of the band's favourites.
Inspiring stuff, if you want it to be. So start a band, make some tunes, put on a gig - why not? molejoy did!
The performance was recorded by Rubie (rubieroo.bandcamp.com), with mix and mastering by Rupert Clervaux (www.rupertclervaux.com). Amy Pennington and Andrew Walker kept everyone lubricated with drinks, and promoted the merch. As always thanks to Antiuniversity Now, who we would not be here without.
The tape is accompanied by 'A love letter to molejoy' - a film by Sophie Chapman which tells the story of the band through VH1 style interviews with never-before-seen rehearsal and gig footage. It’s also a snapshot of a particular moment in the London music scene and love letter to all things DIY.

Piss thunder drums - like when you’re being bullied at school and they’re pushing you to the ground, you can't get up and you miss your bus. We were surprised too. Guitar like a janky synth. Sparse with no room in it. Melodic bass, like soft bones climbing a rope. Everything fighting to get to the front. Sassy, sarky, sincere; because no-one else cares.
“It's different, it's unusual.”
