Debuting in 2014 with a promising 4 track EP ‘Invitation to Hold’, it was the band’s full length ‘Space’, released in 2016, that set them apart. The 9 song collection was bathed in noise and reverb, showed a profound love for all this shoegaze, but was delivered with a raw punk energy, exposing the 5 piece’s hardcore roots. The band toured the UK and Europe with band as Touché Amoré, Basement, Citizen and Pup, supported Minor Victories and Editors in their home turf Belgium and got to play acclaimed festivals as Pukkelpop and Cactus.
For the follow up to ‘Space’ – set for release later this year – the band debunked to London and teamed up with producer Andy Savours. The manual for the new album instructed songs over volume. Still not shying away from loud overwhelming guitars, Newmoon wanted to condense their sound. More Oasis, less My Bloody Valentine… But as this first new release shows, a leopard never changes it spots.

What a wonderful album! MOLLY levitates somewhere between Sigur Rós, Low and is certainly something for fans of the critically acclaimed Cigarettes After Sex. Dream Pop / Shoegaze at its best! reisender27

The sound and message of this album is what has always been playing in my soul, this darkness combined with depth and melancholy is one of the most beautiful things that has happened to me. We have a bit more gothic sound here than dream pop and that's what captivated me, a person familiar with metal genres, together with the heavy bass and more distorted guitars in the reverbs, and let's not forget about those drops that give you goosebumps. noeticboy_2001
