The Moonlight Lp es va editar el passat octubre i avui mateix l'hem descobert i ens ha captivat de seguida. Amb reminiscències a grups com els Luna, els Felt o a certs temes dels Yo La Tengo, forçat ens havia de cridar l'atenció. A la primera escolta hem decidit que sortís publicat avui mateix i ara mateix us recomanam que si sou seguidors dels grups esmentats anteriorment, no dubteu a guardar-vos un poc més de mitja horeta per gaudir profundament d'un treball altament recomanable. No hi trobareu, almanco a les primeres escoltes, cap "hit" d'aquells que t'atrapen al moment però només en acabar un tema ja et vénen ganes de més i el disc es fa curt. Esperam nous treballs d'aquest nova zelandesos que a partir d'avui entren per la porta gran al club dels nostres mons diminuts.
The Moonlight released their first album a few weeks ago and are touring NZ at the moment to alert the dozy rugby-obsessed inhabitants of the Land of the Long White Cloud of its existence.“Across The Room” sounds like it could be a lost recording by the Jean Paul Sartre Experience as they transitioned from winsome melodic strum into peerless fuzzy shoegaze giants as JPSE. That good.
Listening through the album it also seems The Moonlight would also have fitted comfortably amongst the chiming pop of some of the 1990s/ 2000s Failsafe Records roster, which included bands like Springloader, Throw and Dolphin, and post-JPSE bands Kimo and Mulchzoid.
There’s something distinctly New Zealand about The Moonlight LP and it’s low key yearning existential strum. Or, as they so eloquently say on their Bandcamp page: “A pent up need to give permanent shape to the flux of experience. That kind of stuff.”(poplibnz.wordpress.com)
