Admiral Charcoal's Song is the first album by Rebecca Moore.[3] It was released in 1995.[4] It is based on a surrealist musical written and directed by Moore in New York; after hearing it, Michael Dorf offered a record deal through his Knitting Factory Records label.[4] The songs were revised and arranged before being recorded. Moore deems it a formative work, though it is popular among experimental music enthusiasts.

Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press called the album "darkly whimsical and impressionist," writing that "Moore conducts a rarefied tour through a bizarre imagination."[5] Billboard called it "a woefully overlooked album of dark drama and hypnotic beauty."[1]
