Constellations is the third studio album from Moulettes. Recorded in studios, churches, tunnels, workshops and bedrooms around Brighton and Lewes in the summer of 2013, the album features a host of guest performances from legends Arthur Brown ('God of Hellfire') and Herbie Flowers (Lou Reed/David Bowie) and contemporaries Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets), The Unthanks and Emma Richardson (Band Of Skulls). Brighton dub troubadour Faye Houston and dubstep producer Mike Dennis (Dface) complete a supporting cast that emphasises the band’s desire to blend musical styles.

Moulettes has a unique sound that is difficult to pin down and almost impossible to describe - it's a sound that has to be experienced to understand where the band is coming from. There are elements of Pink Floyd, Bjork, Skrillex... and even Kate Bush (most notably in the tracks 'Constellations' and 'The Night is Young').

'The Night is Young' is arguably this album's sweetest track, and was probably my favourite of the 10 tracks (44 min, 34 sec).

It's a fine album and one that has many deep levels that you'll relish exploring.
