The band's debut 7" single 'Racek/Discover Another' is out now on a heavyweight black vinyl pressing limited to 250 copies.
Speaking about the influences behind 'Discover Another' the band said: "This song explores the flippant love buzz, build-ups and tear-downs of the young adolescent. We shot through this erratic stage of life, amongst others around us, and this song has an essence of all that. From the jangling racey intro, to the silky looping swirls in the ending, the sentiment does not sway."
The three piece also recently recorded a stunning live set for South London rehearsal rooms and studio space Pirate Studios, which is now available to watch and share on the official Pirate Live YouTube channel.
MOHIT launched the new single with a beautiful animated video for 'Racek' last month, picking up early blog coverage from the likes of The Soundboard,
Music Crowns, White Heat White Noise, GigSoup, Circuit Sweet, and Already Heard, with spins from Amazing
Radio and Primordial Radio.
'Racek/Discover Another' is out now.

Other than visits to faded old pubs, you might find yourself drowning in free time growing up in the sleepy seaside resort of Bognor Regis. If you're lucky, you might end up writing music as an escape. That's what Toby Baxter and
Danny Brooks did. Before moving to London with mutual friend Jack Daley—who now makes up the remainder of the trio on bass—they were to meet a mystical man named MOHIT, who forever changed the course of the band.
The band's music sways between expansive, elevated instrumental movements with intensity and drama, back to broad droning segments. The attention to dynamics is clear from the get go on lead single 'Racek', which swells out to sea on a full sail, returning to the calm after a stormy voyage.
Taking influence from the likes of My Bloody Valentine, King Crimson, Nick Drake, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, and many more, their explorative and conceptual sound bleeds across many styles, all the while retaining a distinct identity. Notable support slots with the likes of The Murlocs, Omni, Nothing, Yonatan Gat, Vaadat Charigim, and The Parrots, have given them plenty of opportunity to finetune their sound.
Elements of the unexpected preclude more classic structural motifs, and it's the juxtapositions of these polar opposite approaches intermingling which gives birth to a haunted sound that is both inwardly personal and intimate, and outwardly challenging.
Much of their material stems from improvised sessions together, allowing a collective subconscious to guide the writing process, meaning that MOHIT's music can be almost mystical at times—leading the mind astray through strange new frontiers, and shedding light on the darkness within.
