Moody Beach is the artistic project of Sydney songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Melissah Mirage.
Debut track “Vanilla” earned spot rotation on triple j and a slot on
Henry Rollins's KCRW show “Fanatic” along with "Chance" on Travis Holcombe.
New EP "Assembly of the Wild" shows an evolution from her previous EP Mirage, with Moody Beach not only bending and fusing genres from shoegaze, punk and grunge to her will, but diving deeper thematically than ever before. Teaming up with Kim Moyes of
The Presets, Mirage proudly shares unapologetic personality as a core element to her music. Not only a personal catharsis, Moody’s work goes a step further, addressing corporate hegemony and misogyny faced as a woman in the arts and beyond. Assembly of the Wild signifies Moody’s ability to showcase her skills both as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, all the while reinforcing the importance of seeking truth, pushing the societal hypocrisies and exploring dangerous ideas through her art, both in her EP and new comic.
New single “Veins” was created in collaboration with
K.I.M Moyes of
The Presets. Having had great success with Australian musical royalty The Presets, and recently with other bands such as
DMA'S &
Northeast Party House, Moyes had the sonic aesthetic that Mirage was looking for.
