I’ll all the time verify who follows Korean Indie on sns. Not too long ago, I noticed that Moon 13 adopted our Instagram so I checked out their profile and noticed they’d a few releases. I by no means heard of Moon 13 so I began with Homo Religius,
The four-song EP is attention-grabbing. It’s labeled as digital and digital pop, however I believe it goes additional than that. Keyboards are undoubtedly a basis in Moon 13’s music. However the vocals stand out as a focal piece of each tune. They’re introduced with an alternate indie pop twist blended with a theater efficiency. “Siren” showcases this as the beginning.
“With Me!” opens with a repeating guitar rhythm and a percussion line, and I ponder if these had been programmed as a result of Moon 13 could possibly be utilizing pattern packs of natural devices. So it makes me assume “With Me!” may be carried out with a dwell band. It additionally has the identical temper and tone as “Siren” however with a barely brighter presentation. I believe Moon 13 enjoys sustained melodies and dwelling inside a number of melodic traces.
Homo Religius lives in a gray space of digital and shoegaze. “Heaven Is On The Floor” is a shoegaze tune that sounds prefer it takes inspiration from Radiohead‘s OK Pc and Nationwide Pigeon Unity‘s Root. It’s a really particular slice of musical components, however that’s what I heard.
To shut, “Clown” is a extra “commonplace” piano-driven vocal monitor. This exhibits Moon 13’s foundations and hints at how they compose music. It’s a melancholy and barely darkish monitor, which is one thing I take pleasure in. Homo Religius was launched in 2022. A yr later, one other single Ra was launched so I have to hearken to it too. Moon 13 is spectacular. This debut EP is substantial, and I’d like to listen to extra.
