about

With a swag of releases behind him Mark has pooled the musical genres that have shaped and inspired him to make a diverse, eclectic album that is filled with contrasts.

Mark Moldre has been recording music since the late 90’s. He fronted 4-piece Hitchcock’s Regret across the span of 3 albums and released a solo album in 2010 that inspired Midnight Oil’s Rob Hirst to say “A beautifully produced album of melancholic melodies; sad, grand, scary. 4 stars.”

On his latest, An Ear To The Earth he knew he didn’t want to make any of his usual musical choices. He also decided that he would not write any songs about his feelings or himself. No heart on his sleeve stuff. No confessionals. No crying in his gin. He did want to combine the tapestry of his musical past to write an album full of diversity and ever shifting genre.He called his old childhood friend Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss) and asked if he’d be interested in producing. Jamie beat the arrangements into shape with his familiar spit, grit and sandpaper approach.

An Ear To The Earth is filled with dark corners, tender romance, redemption and death, human struggle versus biblical consequences, dreams and bad weather. It’s gritty and smooth, poignant whilst occasionally raucous, diverse – and yet somehow it all hangs together. It’s Moldre’s musical history across 10 varying chapters.
