Luna Shadows writes & produces out of her bedroom, shaping songs under the shade of the palms. Much like a spider, the singer-songwriter spins an ethereal web, pulling all the strings on her tracks. Each song: a layered and thoughtful production, and wholly her own. Emerging in 2016, Billboard called her debut “Some of the most refreshingly soulful & haunting indie pop to come out this year.” She rapidly captured the attention of the alternative scene with Hallelujah California, rising to #8 on Spotify’s US Viral Chart.
Opening a window into her memories, Luna’s sophomore LP promises all the polish of her previous work while demonstrating a deliberate and intimate lyricism. A collection of songs exploring love, loss, grief, realization, recovery, and remembering, these guitar-driven silhouettes mark the start of a new era for Shadows. Shapeshifting for us, she trades sparkling electro pop for emotive indie rock. Written in isolation over the pandemic, she presents us with a record that is startlingly forgiving, and optimistic. As the album’s sole lyricist, she searches for her best self in her darkest depths. She urges listeners to uncover our own wounds, revisit our family histories, and allow ourselves to feel everything: good cannot exist without bad, light would be nothing without dark. Pieced together digitally with long-distance co-producer Bradley Hale & recorded from home by Shadows’ herself, her vision is clear, nostalgic, and as satisfying as a full moon.
