MOEBIUS CAT is a Canadian band with a CD release on the Russian label MALS. The band is based around multi-instrumentalist ROMAN BERSHADSKY, who is playing drums, keys, percussion, djembe and wrote all the music and lyrics of the latest CD ‘End of time’. Vocally he is assisted by an excellent female singer called JODI KRANGLE on several songs, but also male singers KARL MOHR and ADRIANO SPINA appear on a few songs each. I have to say that the female singer Jodi makes a real impression on me personally with her amazing vocal style. It’s a major let-down she didn’t sing all the songs and also when checking the internet she is only doing voice-over jobs. This singer should be out there making music on her own, with such excellent vocals she could easily gain a lot of attention! Anyway, MOEBIUS CAT is a sort of Progrock thing, very calm and laid-back most of the time, with some Dark wave touches as well. PORCUPINE TREE comes to mind here and there and especially the titletrack and “It’s over” are 2 really beautiful songs that even remind a bit of MOSTLY AUTUMN, RENAISSANCE and KARNATAKA, while vocally it has a touch of a KATE BUSH. If only Jodi had sung all the tracks on the album, then this would have been one-helluva record! Nevertheless, check it out at: http://www.moebiuscat.com
