Momus, born on February 11, 1960 in Paisley, Scotland, is a Scottish singer-songwriter and author. With a career spanning over three decades, Momus has established himself as an influential figure in the indie pop and alternative music scenes.

Known for his witty and thought-provoking lyrics, Momus has been compared to artists such as *Future Bible Heroes*, *The 6ths*, and *Felt*. His unique blend of electronic and acoustic sounds creates a distinctive musical style that sets him apart from his contemporaries.

In addition to his solo work, Momus has collaborated with various musicians and bands including *The Auteurs*, *The Monochrome Set*, and *The High Llamas*. His collaborations have resulted in critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as an artist.

Nick Currie, the wildly prolific and much loved writer, artist and musician known as Momus began his career in 1986 with the acclaimed album "Circus Maximus," a quietly striking collection of inventive acoustic songs. While his later work would bring him to altogether different realms, on first listen, it's obvious Momus' signature charm and inventive lyricism arrived fully formed, making the record an immensely enjoyable listen from start to finish. Mixing a lively folk troubadour style worthy of Bert Jansch, along with a sunny voice befitting Donovan, Momus delivers what some consider the template for early Belle &amp; Sebastian.
