The Moth Confesses

The Moth Confesses, released in 1969 by The Neon Philharmonic, is a baroque pop record that blends orchestral arrangements and pop songwriting with psychedelic and operatic touches. Composer-arranger Tupper Saussy frames Don Gant's vocals with lush strings, woodwinds and choral flourishes, producing dramatic, theatrical songs that shift between melodic pop and surreal, sometimes grandiose passages. The album is notable for its elaborate arrangements and for merging classical textures with late 1960s studio pop and psychedelic sensibilities.
