The project was created at Icarus Moth’s home studio over the course of 3-4 years between other releases and plans. The EP title and phrase “Mutamelior” is Latin hodge-podge meaning “to change is for the better,” and it was intentionally coined to describe the artists’ shared sentiment in how their respective musical journeys and broader lives have evolved since they first came in contact.
Ehiorobo recalls listening back to the tracklist of songs found on the project and claims that they somehow happen to be organized on a scale from seemingly lacking hope to incredibly hopeful – hence, the run of performances around the release being titled “The Hope Gradient Tour.”
Ehiorobo and Icarus Moth
The two musicians (Ehiorobo and Icarus Moth) from their artist project’s beginnings in the mid-2010 era of Soundcloud and have a history of collaboration both via self-release and label releases namely through Canadian electronic music label Monstercat.
Having brushed paths with various contemporaries including sharing a tour caravan with MOTHICA, as well as different collaborations with artists like Flamingosis and members of Night Owl Collective – Ehiorobo and Icarus Moth initially met in 2016 at an internet Soundcloud community jam-session organized by the Night Owl team in Austin, TX, at SXSW.
Approximately eight years later and after multiple individual project releases and tours, dozens of millions of streams, and even being roommates for some time in Brooklyn, the two are primed to share their newest project and performances across Boston, DC, NYC, Philadelphia, and more.
