Moin's album Paste, released in 2022, built on the groundwork laid by their debut Moot! and took alternative rock in fresh, unconventional directions. The trioiJoe Andrews, Tom Halstead (of Raime) and percussionist Valentina Magalettii crafted an eclectic blend of sounds, mixing scuzzy guitars, live drums and abstract vocal samples. These monologues, pulled from spoken word compilations and other eclectic sources, added a layer of nostalgia and mystery throughout the album. Tracks like 'Hung Up' merged crystalline guitar tones with raw, anxious rhythms, while 'Forgetting Is Like Syrup' offered a dense, swirling mix of guitars and vocal fragments. Paste didn't settle into any one genre but instead explored the interplay between indie pop, grunge and minimalist influences, adding electronic elements to form a unique sound collage. Moin's ability to bridge diverse genres and ideas set Paste apart, establishing them as boundary-pushers in modern rock music.
