Review by Daylight Saving

The Inner Wastelands by Maud The Moth: A Genre-Bending Journey That’ll Mess With Your Playlist Alright, buckle up. The Inner Wastelands is one of those albums that feels like it was brewed in a cauldron stirred by folk witches, jazz cats, and rock rebels all at once. Released in 2015 under Nooirax Producciones (shoutout to Spain for keeping things weird), this record doesn’t just sit in one genre—it sprawls across Folk, Soul-Jazz, Rock, Pop, Funk, and even sneaks into Country vibes. Yeah, you heard me right. It’s basically the musical equivalent of throwing spaghetti at the wall and having every noodle stick perfectly. Let’s talk about the mastermind behind this chaos: Amaya López-Carromero. She’s wearing so many hats here—composer, vocalist, pianist—that she might as well be running some kind of indie music circus. And honestly? It works. Her voice has this haunting yet warm quality, like someone whispering secrets over a crackling campfire while sipping cheap wine. Now, onto the tracks. There are thirteen songs on this album, but two really stuck with me: “Good Morning Blackbird” and “Ignis Fatuus.” Why? Because they’re polar opposites, yet equally unforgettable. “Good Morning Blackbird” kicks things off with this dreamy, almost hypnotic vibe. Imagine waking up in a forest where sunlight filters through leaves, but instead of birds chirping, there’s Amaya crooning softly about existential dread or something poetic like that. I don’t know what she’s saying half the time, but her voice carries this weight that makes you feel smarter just listening to it. Plus, the piano bits sound like Debussy got lost in a Spanish village and decided to jam with locals. It’s classy, quirky, and kinda magical. Then we’ve got “Ignis Fatuus,” which flips the script entirely. This track slinks in with sultry basslines and jazzy undertones, making you want to put on a fedora and skulk around a smoky bar. If “Good Morning Blackbird” is sunrise, this is midnight. The rhythm grabs you by the collar and whispers, “Dance, loser,” and before you know it, you’re shuffling awkwardly in your kitchen. It’s soul-jazz with teeth—a little dangerous, a lot seductive. The rest of the album keeps the surprises coming. Tracks like “Boards & Gasoline” and “The Swarm” throw curveballs with their shifting tempos and layered instrumentation. At points, it feels like you’re flipping through radio stations in an alternate universe where genres don’t exist. Is it messy? Maybe. But it’s also gloriously unpredictable. Here’s the kicker: despite its wild eclecticism, The Inner Wastelands never feels disjointed. Every song flows into the next like chapters in a novel you can’t put down—even if you’re not entirely sure what’s happening. By the time you hit “Eleven,” the closing track, you’re left wondering how the hell you ended up here from where you started. So, would I recommend this album? Absolutely. But fair warning: it’s not background music. This is the kind of record that demands your attention, like an eccentric friend who won’t shut up until you listen to their latest conspiracy theory. You might not understand everything, but damn if it isn’t fascinating. Final thought: If David Lynch ever decides to make a Western set in outer space, he should call Maud The Moth immediately.
