A document of the first four times that Create (!) ever performed together, Moth Nor Rust is an album of raw improvisations and ideas. Many of the members of Create (!) had never even met prior to the recording and performance of this music.

Featured mostly in a trio setting, Moth Nor Rust features tracks recorded live before a befuddled coffee house crowd at The Hub Cafe. Moth Nor Rust is an audio explanation of the genesis of Create (!).

"Something about this release promises a certain something, it might be the IDM friendly packaging of the album, the varying instrument credits for the quintet (electronics, clarinet, sampler, and more)... promising moments crop up enough that further investigation can be warranted. "Anaerobic Communication," with a mournful, radio-signal guitar line matched with a steady funk/jazz rhythm, brings an attractive subtlety to the fore, slowly mutating into other improvisations over eight minutes without suddenly rocking out. Meanwhile, "Letting, Pt. 1" has a gentle, soothing synth part setting a calm tone over an equally low-key but still active enough drum/trumpet jam, while a similar keyboard part helps to make two more tracks worthwhile: "While Walking" and, unsurprisingly, "Letting, Pt. 2," which has a little more overall activity going at the same contemplative pace. Not the end of the world but not simply something to shrug at in the end."
