Benedict Moleta

"I think of Moleta as a hero, the way he continuously works with different musicians . . . to craft albums that are warm and genuine, moments that merge with your own memories." lifeisnoise.com

"Next up was Benedict Moleta who came out and gave a beautiful acoustic set filled with amazing slice-of-life songs and an incredible voice that even makes the goose bumps have goose bumps!" The AU Review

New solo album Walking Along in the Sun out now:

"Moleta has quite a unique style of delivering his lyrics – the vocals so clear, honest and unpretentious, it can make for quite an uplifting experience." The Drum Media

"...it is inspired recruitment of Miranda Pollard as the perfect foil for the equally gifted vocalist Moleta that steals the show. She would be well advised to continue her time with Moleta as the pair are now responsible for each other's musical high points." X-Press

"…there's reason to be excited about this comeback beyond one exquisite performance. Tonight is a reminiscence on an underrated and frankly brilliant body of WA work that deserves to be viewed alongside the best our state has produced in the past two decades." Seesaw, 2023

"With lyrical visions such as these - and the songcraft to match - Moleta remains a distinctly individual character in the overcrowded cupboard of singer/songwriters." thevine.com.au

"...a hushed, white-wall atmosphere perfect for lovers of Death Cab For Cutie or Red House Painters. But the comparison is not exact, as Moleta's songwriting seems more mature and less prone to pop affectations..." Rave Magazine

"Most of the time when I see Benedict Moleta it's only a brief glimpse of his impossibly skinny frame riding around Mt Lawley on top of a beat up, old mountain bike. That mountain bike is a pretty good metaphor for Benedict Moleta's music, it's not fancy but it's honest and it'll get you where you wanna go." thethousands.com.au
