Following up on their October 2024 tour across Nova Scotia, Quebec & Ontario, Moulettes return to launch their newest creation; ‘Xenolalia’, A multimedia artbook & a groundbreaking experiment in collaboration & composition. It takes the reader on a journey through the Moultiverse, linking to 55 pieces of music via QR code, alongside lyrics, interviews & stories that illuminate the songs contained within.

Moulettes offer something entirely unique & musically kaleidoscopic – Cello, Viola, Violin, Percussion, Synthesizers & 5 part harmony vocals in playfully eclectic symbiosis.
