Mote

Mote is a singular force emerging from Manchester's vibrant alt/post-punk undercurrents. Operating as a solo artist, Mote's sound deftly navigates the atmospheric territories between brooding post-punk and rich melodic sensibilities, capturing the raw energy and artistic daring of Manchester’s storied music scene. With a portfolio of evocative recordings, including tracks like "Cities in a Circle", "Dark Granite", and a distinctive interpretation of "When Doves Cry", Mote has steadily established a reputation for immersive, genre-defying songwriting.

Recent work has further solidified Mote's standing within the alt/post-punk community. The single "Sudden Kiss" showcases a restless creativity and forward-looking approach, following the earlier release of the EP "Vampires". These recordings highlight Mote's ability to blend introspective lyricism with propulsive rhythms, reflecting the artist’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries while retaining a distinctly Manchester edge.

Demonstrating their live credentials, Mote is set to appear at the JONNY BEER EP LAUNCH PARTY at RAT & PIGEON, Manchester, performing as a support act for the headliner Jonny Beer in November 2026. For fans of live music who appreciate left-field alt/post-punk, Mote promises compelling performances and innovative recordings.
