Hailing from Los Angeles California, The Moth & The Flame bring their lush and atmospheric rock and roll to Albany, New York's Overit Studios.

Founded in the high desert of Provo, Utah but currently based in Los Angeles, The Moth & The Flame – singer/guitarist Brandon Robbins, keyboardist/vocalist Mark Garbett, and former Imagine Dragons drummer Andrew Tolman – arrived in 2011 and quickly earned devoted fans and critical acclaim for their brand of lush, atmospheric rock. NPR’s “All Songs Considered” hailed the band’s creative intertwining of compelling music and strong visuals. NYLON praised the band’s 2013 “&,” describing it as “a layered, complex collection of rock songs that probably has Chris Martin wishing he came up with them himself.” UK’s The Guardian proclaimed the aforementioned “Sorry” to be “as brilliant as Flaming Lips, by which we mean it has the brightness, the sheer surface dazzle, of the Lips’ best music.”

In September 2014 the band signed to Elektra Records. “The Moth & The Flame command the live stage and home speakers with equal fervor,” says Elektra President Jeff Castelaz. “Their songs encapsulate the fever and frailty of human emotion in a way that appeals to me as a music advocate. For that reason, I’m extremely proud to make them the newest member of the Elektra family.”

The Moth & The Flame has also spent considerable time on the road, most recently alongside longtime friends Imagine Dragons and The Naked And Famous. Additionally, they’ve headlined countless shows and made standout festival appearances at such international gatherings as Austin’s South By Southwest (SXSW) and the UK’s The Great Escape.
