Los Angeles four-piece Lo Moon—singer and chief songwriter Matt Lowell, bassist Crisanta Baker, guitarist Sam Stewart, and drummer Sterling Laws—emerged out of nowhere in 2018 with their debut release, “Loveless”, a slow-burning epic that transfixed everyone who heard it. The band honed their paradigm over two critically acclaimed albums, featuring songs that shift and stretch, moving from quiet to loud and back again. They tweak the rock template with impressionistic touches and ambient interludes, anchored by solid gold, melodic pop hooks, Lowell’s affecting falsetto, and intensely personal yet strangely elliptical lyrics.
After supporting tours for notable bands like The War On Drugs, Phoenix, Glass Animals, Air, London Grammar, Chvrches, Metric, Muna, and The Lemon Twigs, Lo Moon is preparing for their third release in ’24. This upcoming album revolves entirely around a single unifying idea, exploring life and personality forged from revelatory moments of lived experience. Bold and ambitious sonically, fiercely literate and imagistic, the songs in this album dance around their theme, flowing through peaks and troughs of fervent emotion. It’s a testament to the musical prowess and confidence of Lo Moon, surpassing heights of ambition with their singular work.
