I get asked a lot about my songs. Mainly the lyrics. The questions range anywhere from "Why are your songs so sad?" to "Where the hell did that come from?" The answer's simple, really: I don't have a clue. I never really set out to write a sad song (okay, maybe "Please let me die before the sadness kills me" was intentional). They just sorta come out that way. Not that I tell anybody that. Whenever one of those questions comes up, I pause, look deep into the inquisitor's eyes, and say "Somewhere...deep down...it's so dark there...you can't see anything. But if you listen closely, you can hear a little child. And he's singing."
It's not only great jazz you get from MoonJune, of course. The stable is rich with talent from the forefront of progressive music.
This sampler gives two and a half hours of those riches to tempt you into investigating talent you may not have been aware of before.
Listen. Enjoy. Peter Jones
The great Illuminated Paths label issue another record of hazy, slowed-down sounds. Woozy, surreal, comforting, and absorbing. Bandcamp New & Notable May 29, 2017
Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
