Biography
Hungary (2003 – present)
The Moon and the Nightspirit is a neofolk / medieval folk band from Hungary, formed by Ágnes Tóth (vocals, violin) and Mihály Szabó (vocals, acoustic 12 string guitar), in 2003. Their latest album is “Mohalepte” (spring 2011, self-release), bewitching sylvan music, inspired by nature.
When live, additional members include: Gábor Végh (drums, percussion) and Gergely Cseh (bass).
They craft a distinct artistic signature, reflected not only in their music but also in the unique visual universe that illustrates their work.
Ágnes, a skilled singer and multi-instrumentalist, is also the talented lady responsible for the paintings which bring to The Moon and the Nightspirit’s music a fantasy-setting populated by creatures that trace back to traditional Hungarian legends and folklore. These memories of times forgotten also echo through the lyrics written by guitarist Mihály, which outline the spiritual mindset behind the project.
Such a combination has been greeted with growing enthusiasm since the release of their 2005 debut album on Equilibrium Music, “Of Dreams Forgotten and Fables Untold”, and the early shows that followed, which included an appearance on Hungarian National Television. Later, and in support of “Regõ Rejtem”, their second album, The Moon and the Nightspirit had the opportunity to tour throughout most of Europe.
