ECLECTIC art rockers Moulettes have announced an extensive UK/Irish jaunt throughout December encompassing 18 shows and bringing a rapturous conclusion to their two-year ‘Preternatural’ tour which has taken the group across Europe and Canada.

They play The Brook in Southampton on December 6.

In early 2015, lead singer and songwriter Hannah Miller read a New Scientist article that described how the discovery of a microscopic creature had redefined the perimeters of life as we know it. The ‘Halicephalobus Mephisto’ Nematode Worm has none of the requirements of other known life forms – able to survive deep underground, without oxygen or sunlight.

The seed was sown for Preternatural – an eclectic 11-track opus for the Natural World, and the strange and beautiful creatures in it.

The band, like the creatures they describe, have always been an evolving phenomenon, and each album has seen a significant leap into new unchartered territory.
