Moloko were an electronic/pop duo from Sheffield, England, consisting of Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon.
The band's name originates from the Nadsat slang in the novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, in which it means "milk" (from the Russian word for milk, молоко), actually the name of a milk drink Alex and his "droogs" consume mixed with narcotics. (Fellow electronic Sheffield band Heaven 17 had also taken their name from the novella when they formed in 1980).
Murphy was born in Arklow, and had no prior professional experience as a singer. Brydon already had an extensive resumé within the dance music community as a remixer and member of pop/house acts House Arrest and Cloud 9. They met at a party in Sheffield, when Murphy approached Brydon using the chat-up line, "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body!" This line would later become the title of their debut album, recorded while the pair were dating.
The first two albums Do You Like My Tight Sweater? and I Am Not...
