Statues is an Electronic album by Moloko, originally released in 2003. On Gatefold: 34 pressings tracked.
About
After working with live musicians on their previous effort Things to Make and Do, Moloko returned to electronic territory with this album (although the previous album's organic influences remains, as seen on "Familiar Feeling" and "Over and Over"). At the time of its release, the long-term romantic partnership between group members Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon had dissolved, setting the stage for Murphy's 2005 solo album Ruby Blue. Statues is comprised of material which describes the various emotional milestones in a romantic relationship (or rather as it comes apart). Moloko toured Europe extensively to promote the album and disbanded shortly thereafter.
