Indigo Moss
The album garnered much critical acclaim with The Times calling it "joyeous" and giving it 4 out of 5 stars (6th April 2007). The NME said "They mix traditional Brit folk with early rock and then add a twist of bluegrass" (17th February 2007, whilst Uncut called it "A curious clash of cultures that doubtless attracted the attention of Damon Albarn. They’re much more than just another Americana outfit" (4/5 Stars - March 2007). Mojo said that "A feeling for melody and harmony pulls the band beyond their influences" (4/5 Stars - May 2007). In mid-2007 the line-up of the band changed dramatically, with Simon Moss, Lil’ Daisy and ’B’ leaving to pursue other interests. Rhythm section duo Andy Bruce and Alex Walker were brought in for live shows in early 2008. By June 2008, founder members Trevor Moss and Hannah-Lou had ditched the Indigo Moss name to work as a duo.[1]

Trivia
Their debut album was recorded at Damon Albarn’s studio 13, and was produced by Simon Tong. They appear in the film Freebird which stars the British actor Phil Daniels. The Band are also credited on the soundtrack as they provide songs and instrumental music to the sound track. February 2007 saw them supporting The Good, the Bad and the Queen playing to audiences from around England and Scotland. They have previously recorded material at the world famous Olympic Studios but these sessions have not surfaced and it is widely believed they were used as demos for the songs recorded at 13 for use on their album "Indigo Moss".
