Moher is a psychedelic folk band based on Jeju Island, South Korea, consisting of singer-songwriter e_so, who was born and raised on Jeju Island, and Minkyu Jo, whose musical journey began as a busker in Ireland. Together, they weave an intricate soundscape where the irish bouzouki and acoustic guitar intertwine with their harmonically contrasting voices, evoking imagery of waves crashing against rugged cliffs—a poetic confluence of two distant yet kindred islands.

The band’s name ‘Moher’ is drawn from the cliffs of moher in ireland and means ‘ruined fort’ in Gaelic. They met purely by chance during their travels in Thailand in early 2023. What began as a serendipitous encounter quickly grew into a profound musical partnership, culminating in the creation of Moher.

Moher released their debut album, [Kaleidoscope], on June 28, 2024. The album reflects their shared journey—two individuals who crossed paths in a foreign land, returned to their roots, and crafted a mosaic of sound that captures the fragmented beauty of the world as seen through each other’s eyes.

With its unique blend of Korean and Celtic influences, Moher’s music resonates with audiences worldwide, offering a soulful exploration of connection, heritage, and the ever-changing tides of life.

Moher 是一支以南韓濟州島為基地的迷幻民謠（Psychedelic Folk）樂團，由在濟州島土生土長的唱作人 e_so，以及在愛爾蘭以街頭藝人開啟音樂生涯的 Minkyu Jo 所組成。他們將愛爾蘭布祖基琴（Bouzouki）與民謠吉他交織在一起，搭配兩人音色對比鮮明卻又和諧的和聲，構築出極具層次的聲音景致，彷彿讓人看見海浪拍打著嶙峋峭壁的畫面——這是兩座遙遠卻心靈相通的島嶼，一場充滿詩意的文化交匯。

樂團名字「Moher」源自愛爾蘭著名的莫赫懸崖（Cliffs of Moher），在蓋爾語中意為「廢墟城堡」。兩人於 2023 年初在泰國旅遊時與彼此萍水相逢，這場奇妙的邂逅迅速轉化為深厚的音樂夥伴關係，並最終促成了 Moher 的誕生。

Moher 於 2024 年 6 月 28 日發行了首張專輯《Kaleidoscope》。這張專輯映照出他們共同走過的旅程——兩個在異國相遇的人回到各自的根源，攜手編織出一幅音樂馬賽克，捕捉了透過彼此雙眼所看見、那帶著碎片之美的世界。

憑藉著揉合韓國與凱爾特（Celtic）文化的獨特風格，Moher 的音樂引發了全球樂迷的共鳴，為觀眾帶來一場關於人際連結、文化傳承以及生命潮起潮落的精神探索。
