Star Moles Signs Dead Oceans Shares New Song Born Again
In the ever-evolving landscape of indie rock, a fresh and charismatic voice is emerging from the DIY scene: Emily Moales, a Philly-based native of New Hampshire who crafts incredibly cool music under the moniker Star Moles.
Star Moles’ discography is anything but new, boasting dozens of releases stretching back nearly a decade, demonstrating a deep and enduring creative commitment. But while the history is rich, it is recent work that has caught the wider attention, particularly her latest album, Highway To Hell. This record quickly became a favorite among listeners, drawing attention from some of the scene’s most respected names.
The music’s influence was evident immediately, with acclaimed artist Jeff Tweedy lending her voice through a cover. Furthermore, the track resonated deeply with others in the indie orbit, earning praise from Lucy Dacus, who embraced the sound wholeheartedly.
Moales’ journey is increasingly becoming one of shared artistic recognition. She is now sharing label space with established indie icons like Phoebe Bridgers and Mitski, signaling a growing acceptance and visibility for her unique sound.
This rising star’s latest moves extend beyond her own releases. Star Moles recently shared a new song, Born Again, and announced a significant step in her career by signing with the influential label Dead Oceans.
