"‘Miss Melody’ isn’t just a single; it’s a wistful, dreamy journey from the streets of Hong Kong to the heart of the listener."

W: Gary Hulme

NEW SINGLE '' MISS MELODY'' OUT 27th FEBRUARY 20026

Alex Moran is a nomadic soul whose music serves as a passport to his journey. Born in London and having cut his teeth in the creative hubs of Leamington Spa, Adelaide, and Edinburgh, Moran finally found his footing in Brisbane in 2019. Operating primarily under the moniker Quiet as a Mouse, with a secondary project titled The Seven Deadly Sins, Moran has spent years refining a sound that is as geographically diverse as his upbringing. He isn’t just a musician; he is a storyteller who has traded the British drizzle for the Australian sun, bringing a suitcase full of grit, melody, and "mature" indie sensibilities with him.

For the uninitiated, Moran’s music is a masterclass in emotional transparency. He draws from a deep well of influences—ranging from the poetic darkness of Nick Cave and the raw vulnerability of Cat Power to the indie-rock energy of The Strokes. His sound sits at a unique crossroads of indie, alternative rock, and emo, flavoured with the storytelling roots of alt-country. It is music designed for the quiet moments of reflection, described by Moran himself as lyrical, intimate, and "romantic yet sad." He embraces the label of the "talented unheard," prioritizing the weight of a strong lyric over the fleeting polish of a social media trend.

The year 2026 marks a massive creative surge for Moran, spearheaded by his upcoming single "Miss Melody," dropping February 27. This track is a quintessential introduction to his style: a rock-pop anthem with a "catchy chorus" that takes a sharp, artistic turn into a wistful and dreamy outro. The song is just the first taste of his sophomore album, Nostalgia is fine…but…, scheduled for release on May 29. With two more singles, "Peter Pan" and "Cocaine Soul," on the horizon and self-shot music videos filmed everywhere from the streets of Hong Kong to the Sunshine Coast, Moran is proving that his greatest strength—his honesty—is exactly what the modern music landscape is missing.
