About

Moth Lake Records is an independent record label and creative project founded by Dru Michael, centred on the idea that music is more than a collection of songs, serving as a medium for creativity, expression, and exploration.

The project began in January 2018, initially taking shape through an archive of demos, instrumentals and unfinished ideas that gradually revealed an interconnected world of sound, film and storytelling.

In 2021, recording began on original material for the Moth Lake soundtrack, exploring themes of memory, mental health, sleep, synchronicity and the unexplained. With collaboration and community at its core, Moth Lake Records brings together musicians, filmmakers and visual artists to create work that feels immersive, honest and emotionally connected.

In 2025, the MLR: Live Sessions began, bringing artists into local studios to reinterpret music that inspired the world of Moth Lake.

From original releases and reimagined songs to live sessions and an evolving cinematic project, Moth Lake Records exists as a space for ideas to cross between mediums.
