Another difficult Murmur song to cover. I consider it a compliment to Don Dixon, Mitch Easter and the band that I had such difficulty recreating the sound of this song. I also fail hopelessly at recreating, what I refer to as, the second middle 8, I have no idea what Peter Buck is doing here, some kind of variation on a G chord I think.
I consider Moral Kiosk one of the under-rated gems of Murmur, it's hidden away between two classic songs and it's really obscure lyrically and even instrumentally it's quite complex. In fact, there are a lot of really complex songs on Murmur, 9-9 being another one. It's incredible that these complex, mature songs came from a band in their early twenties.
