MAKE
MY EYES WATER
[6 songs 25min] April 1997 the self-released debut from a young and inspired duo, which finds it's way through brightening pop ("tubeblow") to darker territories as on the title track and "anaestehic coma". A band trying to convince every one around of it's brilliance. the only recordings made (yet) to not be engineered/produced by the moonbabies themselves. highlights: tremolo arm sway and blue |

STARSONGS,
MOONSONGS & DRONES
[5 songs 18 min] December 1997 the first of the demos with the glossy fold-out sleeves "starsongs, moonsongs & drones", was a step into the MBV/shoegazer galaxy, which the band still often gets compared to. multilayered vocals and guitars, echoed and phased until infinity on songs like "just a wobble" and "rollercoaster"(which later became the soft "Spanish fork" on 5 fresh tunes... 2 years later). Beautiful and wrecked at the same time, this tape showed which way the band was heading next musically. highlights: green sprout, just a wobble and a brand new coat (mix) |

SPITFIRE
E.P.
[4 songs 17 min] May 1998 in the beginning of 1998, the duo was fed up with never be able to perform their repetuar at loud volume, with drums, bass and fuzzy guitars. The started to put up ad's searching for a drummer and a bassplayer, and found henrik thörn and thomas lundberg who fit perfectly into the band, musically and personally. "spitfire e.p." was recorded during 3 days in april ´98 where each member got to pick one favorite song from the scrapbook. a more dynamic and aggressive release to the previous tapes. highlights: kerosene and dead love |

OLYMPIAN
HEIGHTS E.P.
[4 songs 18 min] April 1999 olympian height e.p. Was the first tape to get moonbabies some attention outside sweden. the Kettle Black 'zine, US wrote "The overall touch of emotion and sadness lends a universal appeal, similar to the work of Joy Division...//... Ola's Frick's deep, masculine voice is perfectly contrasted with Carina Johansson's pristine female backup vocals...//... If you like harmonic, introspective, catchy dreampop with substance, Moonbabies is a sure bet." first planned to be released on 7" e.p. this cassette is included on tangerine tapes "sweet morning themesongs" compilation.

FIVE
FRESH TUNES FROM THE MOONBABIES

Highlights: I'm insane but so are you and happy when smile |

12
TRK DEMO 1999
[12 songs 30 min] June 1999 the last of the series of self-released demos. "12 TRK demo" invited the listener through a musical journey from the opener "June and novas" to the slow breakbeat instrumental closer "mungo's memories". some pretty experimental stuff as well as some easy pop ("city walk" and "we still use it in the wrong way"). the first ever coverversion to ever be released by the band was a stunning laid-back version of the velvet underground's "hey mr.rain". almost all of the tracks on this CD were later picked for different compilations and also lays the ground fro moonbabies "June and novas" cd-album. the duo's best "demo" effort without a question. Highlights: June and novas, city walk, wash off, pianohammers, winter broken time and batmobile. |
