Raymond Listen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raymond Listen was a psychedelic pop band formed in 1990 in Newark, DE by Edward Moyse (vocals/guitar/organ) and Dave Milsom (drums). By 1992, the lineup had expanded to include Dave Silverman (glockenspiel/organ) and Kim Benner (finger cymbals).

The band was featured in the Cute Band Alert column in the July, 1993 issue of Sassy Magazine. They recorded sessions with producer Kramer and released the album 'Licorice Root Orchestra' on Shimmy Disc in late 1993. The band's lineup changed after this recording, with Benner leaving, and Mark Murphy (percussion) and Tom Johnson (guitar) joining the group. After a week-long tour in the spring of 1994, Raymond Listen was dissolved. In the months following, Moyse, Milsom, and Silverman reemerged as Licorice Roots.

"Licorice Root Orchestra" was reissued by Essay Records under the Licorice Roots name in January, 2006.
