His first solo release was the 2007 "It's About Time" E.P.

Style

Moore's musical style is described as upbeat, layered, complex, and lush.[2]

Early life

Moore formed the band Scintillate in 1994 and wrote and played with them until they disbanded in 2005. Scintillate enjoyed local success in their hometown Southend, winning the 1997 battle of the bands competition, "It's a Rockout".

Scritti Politti

Moore joined Scritti Politti on guitar in 2005, and toured with Scritti Politti on their well received 2006 tour of North America, Japan and the British Isles. He also played at the Mercury Prize awards in 2006 where Scritti Politti were nominated for the album White Bread, Black Beer.

Frank Sidebottom

Since 2006, Moore played guitar for the London branch of Frank Sidebottom's Oh Blimey Big Band alongside Scritti Politti bandmate Rhodri Marsden. Moore and Co were due to perform with Frank Sidebottom four days after his death in June 2010.

Bearcraft

In April 2009 Moore announced he would be releasing music and performing with the name "Bearcraft", explaining that this signalled a shift in his style. Following the announcement a Myspace page was set up, containing new songs, all of which were synth-based.

Bearcraft’s debut album, ‘Yestreen’, was released on August 16, 2010 through Hottwerk Records and has been enjoying positive reviews in the music press.[3]
