Roy Moller

THE SINGING”S GETTING BETTER released May 1st, 2012, on Mecca Holding Company as CD and download.

First fifty CDs include special lyric booklet created by Jane-Turpentine.

The third solo album from Belle & Sebastian collaborator Moller,
hailed by BBC 6Music’s Marc Riley as “Scotland’s best-kept secret”.

Here’s lead track ALL THE WORLD, featuring Monica Queen on guest vocals, as recently played by Marc Riley on BBC 6Music.

A pair of duets with Thrum vocalist Monica Queen are but two of the riches this heartfelt, yet playful, album has to offer. Partnered by Sporting Hero,
Moller has crafted an acoustic-based tour de force fusing rockabilly (“Mis-Spent Youth”), country-flavoured folk (the title track) and a hint of psychedelia (the elegiac “Beneath The Tarmac”) with a singular pop sensibility as witty as it’s catchy.

Moller’s talents have led to many collaborations with Belle & Sebastian guitarist Stevie Jackson, from songs such as the High Fidelity-featured B&S track “Seymour Stein”.
Having recently played a Marc Riley session which the DJ described as “really, really great”, Roy’s new album adds lustre to his burgeoning reputation as one of the most singularly-gifted artists in Scottish pop.
