Reefus Moons is a one-man band/ singer-songwriter originally from London, having moved through Cornwall, Scotland and the Ghost-infested, apathy-driven, gothic village-that-thinks-it's-a-City of York eventually landing high up in the clouds in the village of Castleton on the North Yorkshire Moors.
Having started life on Acid Tapes in the 80's with albums such as 'The art of slow travelling', 'Moondust' and 'World in a droplet'. He later went on to create the rare and hard to find LP: 'Reach for the Sundial and kiss for the hits' on his own label, Insect Eye Records followed by 'The Word raven', an album held in such high esteem by the radio broadcaster Mark Radcliffe he had to stand on a chair.
Two solo CD's followed: 'Uptight Sound From The Message Tree' (1993) and 'Roar' (1995) including songs such as: 'Mystic Man', 'Acid House Sergeant', 'The Skyscraper Song', 'Solar Face' and 'I Like Myself and I Want To Fly'.
The next venture was a collaboration with the Suicidal Flowers and members of Gods Little Monkeys and Mostly Autumn with the CD 'Marmalade Sun' (2000) on Delerium Records recreating older classics such as 'Love Bomb' and 'Groovin With The Vicar' and new ones such as 'Trojan Horses' and 'Dinosaurs Toe'.
Reefus Moons would like to point out he is an admirer of Crows, Salvador Dali, tea, Marmite and old VW Campervans
The entire back catalogue is now available on CD and MP3 including the new retrospective compilation of the 'Acid Tape years and other oddities:' Sing Damp Songs with a Pirate'.
