Biography

Sheffield, England (1995 – 2006)

Moloko were an Anglo-Irish and duo from Sheffield, England consisting of Róisín Murphy from Arklow, Republic of Ireland and Mark Brydon, from Sunderland, England. The band’s name originates from the Nadsat slang in the novel “A Clockwork Orange” by Anthony Burgess, in which it means “milk” (from the Russian word for milk, молоко).

Róisín Murphy was born in Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland, and had no prior professional experience as a singer. Mark Brydon already had an extensive resumé within the dance music community as a remixer and member of / acts “House Arrest” and “Cloud 9”. They met at a party in Sheffield in 1995, when Murphy approached Brydon using the chat-up line, “Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!” This line would later become the title of their debut album, recorded while the pair were dating.

The first two albums Do You Like My Tight Sweater? and I Am Not a Doctor gained notice in the underground dance scene. The band broke into the mainstream when “Sing It Back”, an album track from “I Am Not A Doctor”, was remixed by house music producer Boris Dlugosch. The track was a massive hit in Ibiza, and this remixed version broke into the top-five of the UK singles chart in 1999, helped by a psychedelic video featuring the attractive Murphy in a very short metallic “flapper” dress and cap.

    I wish Brydon would have droppde an instrumental album or something. He has a very unique way of putting tracks together.

    Had the chance to see them play once and skipped on it cause it would have meant going on my lonesome. Can only pray for a reunion.
