About...
Moon Idle are an Alternative band from Brighton, they combine elements of Trip-Hop, Latin Jazz, and Dream Pop to create their own sonic wavelength. ‘The Avenue’ is the opening track on their 2023 EP ‘Kindly’, acting as a note to self in that everything is okay
Lyrics...
Talking about the track singer Quilla says “I wrote it to tell myself everything will be okay; it seems to have worked as someone said recently that they love how comforting the song is.” This shows the bands comfortability in being honest in their lyrics, something obvious throughout the whole EP
Production...
The production is clean throughout the EP not just the opener, with clear thought into the mix and use of percussion in the track. The band have a clear sense of their sound and knowledge of each of their roles to build great arrangements, with the Guitars particularly standing out to me with their often-pulling harmonic choices reminding me of Green Gardens
Summary...
Moon Idle are ones to watch out for, with Kindly showing each members quality and unique sound they bring to create a melting pot of groove. Creating what feels like natural versions of electronic music through the percussion and warming harmony in the instrumentation, Moon Idle have their own sound
