What’s This?: Moon Bounce

The time has come for Philadelphia bedroom composer Moon Bounce. He has been slowly leaking material over the past few months and is readying the release of his debut LP, Dam Your Best Frock. Below you can check out the newly released song “Whipped” which is also accompanied by a seizure-inducing video. The latest track, like the rest of his material, is built upon glitchy, dub-esque beats that wax and wane with the songs intensity. Moon Bounce meticulously weaves warping samples, acoustic instruments, found sound percussions, and a dramatic baritone that is beautiful and possibly the most important aspect of all despite its relative burying in the mix. His vocals can float like a cloud before sharply turning into a brooding, subhuman drawl. The songs at times recall artists like The Books and Baths, especially on standout “Sleeper’s Quarrel” while songs like “Soda Pop” reveal a frantic, grimy energy that is more restrained in other tracks.
