Ocean Colour Scene – Moseley Shoals

Description

Moseley takes its name from an area in Birmingham, Moseley Shoals is a tribute to Muscle Shoals, the legendary soul recording studios in Alabama. A low-key start to their career was boosted by two things the endorsement of two of Britains biggest pop stars Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher, and the exposure given to the first single, “The Riverboat Song”, by Chris Evans on his hit TV show TFI Friday.

The album was produced by Wellers producer at the time Brendan Lynch, giving it a strong, organic R&B feel (influenced by the Small Faces and Wellers solo recordings) with a pronounced 60s flourish, mixing in traces of Beatles and Stones, as well as elements of prog-rock and psychedelia, adding an even more eclectic flavour to their sound.
