Moon to Versai

We were the "Band of the Week" in the IE Weekly. Here is the review by Phil Fuller.

"Moon To Versai crank out playful instrumental pop ditties that oscillate between sugary-sweet, upbeat Game Boy music, dreamy, mopey progressions and vibrato-driven surf sounds. They can also aurally describe frenetic anxiety with surprising eloquence. The lack of lyrics and basic pop structure doesn't make the band overly pretentious, as is the case with a lot of instrumental bands eager to prove their superior musical skills (or lack thereof). The band keeps their music pop enough to attract average listeners, sure, but the focus here is on composition. They refrain from the terse trappings of your average radio-ready band by promulgating music that's remarkably free of cheesy hooks in favor of solid playing and a decidedly progressive sound that keeps their songs from getting stuck in the doldrums of monotony. The track “Lilliputian” is a fine example of how diverse the band can be, running from spacey, upbeat rock to frantic, metal-like crescendos, ensuring that you won't ever get bored by instrumentals—well, at least MtV's instrumentals—again.
