Jack Colleran (born May 1993), better known as MMOTHS, is an Irish electronic musician.[1]
Biography
Colleran was born in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland.[2][3]
Colleran has played piano since he was five years old. He played in several bands while in school and, in 2010, began making music on his laptop using a demo version of Ableton Live. He released the demo on SoundCloud a week later under the stage name MMOTHS.[4][5][6] The name is a play on "Motts," a local term for girls.[6] Having released a number of tracks on SoundCloud, MMOTHS was approached by and then signed to Los Angeles music label SQE Music.[3][4] SQE released his self-titled debut EP in March 2012, which featured guest vocals from Superhumanoids and Keep Shelly In Athens.[5][7] The EP was described by This Is Fake DIY as "an utterly beautiful blend of electronics that are somehow crafted to evolve with an aching sense of soulful intimacy".[8]
He performed at the South by Southwest festival in April 2012.[3] In August he supported At the Drive-In at the O2 Academy in Brixton, and he has also opened for Aphex Twin.[9][10]
MMOTHS EP entitled Diaries was released 5 March 2013 and features vocals by Holly Miranda and Young & Sick.[11]
Colleran confirmed an Irish Tour during October and November 2013 -in the Roisin Dubh, Galway (10 October); Dolan’s, Limerick (19); The Pavilion, Cork (1 November); The Button Factory, Dublin (2).
