In an enchanting musical development, Newmoon has unveiled "Fading Phase," the mesmerizing lead single from their upcoming album, captivating listeners with its dreamlike allure. The track is distinguished by its ethereal quality, featuring expansive guitar work and captivating melodies that promise to transport fans to a state of entrancing euphoria. The creation of "Fading Phase" was sparked by a serendipitous moment with a vintage Rickenbacker guitar from the '90s, leading to an organic and magical songwriting process for singer-guitarist Bert Cannaerts.
The band's third album, "Temporary Light," is a masterful blend of nostalgic influences and innovative sounds, marking a significant moment in Newmoon's journey. With the addition of Conor Dawson on drums, the album showcases a refined musicality, weaving together dense guitar layers with Dawson's intricate rhythms to create a compelling soundscape. This release sees Newmoon revisiting their signature ethereal and dreamy style, moving away from the melodic direction of their previous work, "Nothing Hurts Forever," and offering a rich tapestry of lush melodies and dynamic instrumentation.
"Temporary Light" represents a fusion of past and present, combining the band's foundational elements with fresh ideas that have been brewing since their inception. The album's eight tracks range from gentle, catchy melodies to robust musical arrangements, underscored by the band's characteristic guitar work. The collaboration with esteemed engineer and producer Thomas Valkiers, alongside mastering by Simon Scott of Slowdive, further elevates the album's auditory experience, making "Temporary Light" a pivotal addition to the shoegaze genre and a testament to Newmoon's evolving artistic vision.
