OC boys, Max and the Moon are hard at work. Their latest single, “Lighthouse,” has been given the cinematic treatment. Another joyous anthemic indie pop tune from the quartet. The song is an artistically approached radio-friendly hit, in the same vein as their previous release that we featured, “The Way I See.” The video intercuts between images of desolate landscapes and faceless men roaming in the dark, which leads to these worlds colliding; a slightly unsettling poetic narrative that weaves throughout as the cheerful production belies the song’s darker meaning. The band has also announced a July Residency at the Constellation Room – July 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. The lineup is stacked with impressive local talent including Blonde Summer, Warships, The Steelwells, and A House for Lions. A new EP is expected next month as well. – Jacqueline Caruso
