Ah, “Moist”! The word that makes so many people, myself included, cringe upon hearing it or when forced to say it aloud. Not surprisingly, there aren’t that many songs — at least non-sketchy ones — with the word “Moist” in their titles. But I did find a few that are worth listening to. For those of you who enjoy commentary, I included some here for each song — not snarky repartee, per se, more like my internal thought processes when choosing songs for a post. Which you might find interesting. I dunno. Anyway…enjoy! ~ JH
1) Bruxing ~ “Moist Ointment” (Fairly generic rock instrumental, a bit repetitive, but consistently interesting.)
2) Divisor ~ “Moist Upper Lip” (Dark industrial electronica. Instrumental, lots of nice weird stuff going on.)
3) Jan Van Gold ~ “Moist Mother” (Folkish pop-rock with lovely vocals, albeit fairly unintelligible lyrics.)
4) Cult Maze ~ “S. Moist” (Eminently listenable indie-rock tune, with grungy vox and jangly guitars.)
5) Illogical SRL ~ “Moist” (This is odd. Opera-like vocals with hip-hop/funk-style beats. Pretty chill, but profoundly weird.)
6) Boon ~ “Moist” (Rollicking rhythm, strong bluesy female vox — this is really nice!)
7) The Arctic Zone ~ “Soft, Moist” (Pleasant, if rather benign, rock instrumental. Quite short, too.)
8) Dust ~ “Moist Tree” (Nice modern rock/nu metal tune with solid instrumentation and rock vox.)
9) First Swede… ~ “Magical Moist” (New Age-y instrumental song with lots of wonderful strings. Simply lovely.)
10) The Reekers ~ “Son, It’s Moist” (Exceptionally nice soft-rock instrumental with a beach-music feel to it. Good stuff!)
11) The Shed ~ “All Moist A Bad Party” (This has a kind of Grateful Dead-Simon & Garfunkel hybrid feel to it. Every bit as strange and wonderful as you’d expect it to be.)
12) Destroyed By Voices ~ “A Moist Moment” (What a great little instrumental. I enjoyed all 38 seconds of it.)
13) Christopher Clarke ~ “Moist Sugar” (This somber yet soothing instrumental sounds very much like it belongs on the soundtrack of a movie. Which is exactly where it came from. So there ya go!)
14) Samuel F. Scott & The B.O.P. ~ “Moist People” (I hear this, I feel like I should be sitting on the beach soaking up sunshine and nothing else. Perfectly chill summer song!)
15) Noxious Foxes ~ “Moist Definitely” (That sounds really hard to play. Not for them, apparently. Excellent, hard-rocking jam.)
