AllMusic[2]

You Will Go to the Moon is the third album by the Canadian folk band Moxy Früvous, released in 1997.[3][4] The title track was inspired by the children's book.[5] "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" is a cover of the Bee Gees song.[6]

Critical reception

[edit]

Stereo Review wrote: "Right from the start, these Canadians show their debt to eclectic pop (read: XTC), and it all sounds a little too calculating and tied up in ribbons. But it's hard to resist the plentiful melodies, harmonies, exotics, and jokes."[7] The Toronto Star praised the "clever wordsmithery, spot-the-pop-reference tomfoolery, stylistic swings and, of course, close vocal harmonies."[8]
