Ehiorobo & Icarus Moth

‘Mutamelior’ EP, and The Hope Gradient Tour | Bio

On the heels of the release for their new collaborative EP titled 'Mutamelior', alternative r&b singer-songwriter/musician Ehiorobo and pop-electronic musician/composer and producer Icarus Moth are embarking on a 6-show tour across cities in northeast USA.

Their three-track EP includes an exploration of genres and styles mainly referencing r&b and hip-hop, strains of EDM such as house music and UK-Garage, as well as pop-contemporary. With the project being patiently created at Icarus Moth's home studio through the course of 3-4 years betwixt other releases and plans, the EP title and phrase "Mutamelior" is Latin hodge-podge meaning "to change is for the better", and was intentionally coined in describing the artists' shared sentiment in how their respective musical journeys and broader lives have evolved since the time in which 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'.

The two musicians (Ehiorobo and Icarus Moth) hail from their artist project's beginnings in the mid-2010's 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 both sharing a tour caravan with MOTHICA, as well as different collaborations with artists like Flamingosis and members of Night Owl Collective - Ehiorobo & 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 8 years later and after multiple individual project releases & tours, dozens of millions of streams and even being roommates for some time in Brooklyn NY, the two are primed to share their newest project and performances across Boston, DC, NYC, Philadelphia, and more.
