When singer-songwriter Róisín Murphy and musician/composer/producer Mark Byrdon dropped this, their first album in 1995, they were lumped in with the UK ‘trip hop’ scene. However, Moloko’s broader musical influences, production risk-taking, and idiosyncratic approach set them apart from the glacial-speed breakbeats and soporific samples that characterised outfits like Massive Attack and Portishead. Instead, their debut featured smart electronic/sample tracks informed by house, drum & bass and hip hop, which revelled in outre sonic juxtapositions, all graced by Murphy’s voice, a versatile tool capable of bringing anxiety, tenderness, cruelty, passion or humour to her songs with apparent ease. 

Hopping between angular synthetic funk, chanteuse electronica and hybrid audio oddities, at the time Do You Like My Tight Sweater was bold, fascinating and slightly otherworldly and remains so.
