Following recent support from independent playlists and growing live momentum, MOMA bring a stripped-back but immersive live show shaped by harmony, atmosphere, and silence just as much as sound. Making thier debut at The Hampstead Jazz Club.
MOMA are Molly Bobroff and Matthew Day – two voices, one band, built around the quiet tension between them, joined live by charting producer Tom Philpott on keys. Blending indie-folk textures with cinematic songwriting, MOMA create songs that feel intimate, raw, and emotionally unresolved.
MOMA is Molly Bobroff and Matthew Day, two people writing songs about the things that are often hardest to say out loud. Rooted in indie-folk, their music is built around harmony, atmosphere, and storytelling, the kind that feels personal without ever being self-indulgent. Joined live by producer and multi-instrumentalist Tom Philpott on keys, the three bring a quiet confidence to everything they do.
MOMA are currently taking their live show across the UK, building a reputation for sets that move between intimate acoustic moments and songs with the kind of choruses that pull a room together. No big production, just voices, keys, and the feeling that settles when a song lands right. Molly and Matt’s harmonies sit at the centre of everything, with Tom’s textures giving each song room to open up. Audiences tend to leave having felt something they didn’t expect to feel walking in.
Their latest single, ‘Out of Reach‘, explores losing someone while they’re still right in front of you, the distance that grows between people even when nothing has ended. Shaped as much by silence as by melody, it’s a song that rewards the listener who pays attention.
Alongside their more reflective writing, MOMA have begun gaining international recognition, most recently winning the 2026 American Songwriter Shamrock & Roll competition with ‘Hey‘, a track that shows a different, more energetic side of the band’s writing and live energy. Proof that MOMA are just as comfortable making a room move as they are making it still.
On 17 July, MOMA bring a set that shifts between quiet and loud, personal and shared, songs that feel lived-in, and a room that tends to feel it too.
“The vocals have an honest tone and echo beautifully through the soundscape. MOMA gives you a feeling of peace.” Lefuturewave · February 2025 · Kiss Me Slowly
