Lo Moon perform with a mercurial elegance that’s both graceful and intense. The LA trio’s introduction is certainly daring for a band who’s just about getting their start: the seven-minute "Loveless" is a sweeping, atmospheric piece that unfurls with a patience that draws out its emotional impact to a very high degree. Even if we’re not entirely sure as to what direction they’ll ultimately take (aside from the fact that their facebook page references eighties soft rock acts like Prefab Sprout and The Blue Nile as influences), the band has already caught the attention of some big names to follow their every step: not only do they have the support of major-label behemoth Columbia Records, but they’ve also enlisted record producer Chris Walla – who’s known for his affecting and poignant approach to songwriting – to work on their upcoming debut effort.
See the hype for yourself when they make a stop at the Bootleg on November 29.
