Lo Moon announce the forthcoming album, I Wish You Way More Than Luck
Psych-pop four-piece Lo Moon have returned with the announcement of their new album, I Wish You Way More Than Luck, and share two releases – "Water" and the b-side "Connecticut".
“Since all the songs on our new album were inspired by the moment I found my artistic voice as a teenager, I started Water with the riff on an acoustic guitar. It really reminded me of something I might play when I was sixteen. It felt whimsical and nostalgic and when the band jumped in it felt like refreshing new ground for us," says Lo Moon’s Matt Lowell about "Water".
"A couple days before the song appeared I had re-read David Foster Wallace’s transcript of a commencement speech he gave at Kenyon College in 2005. It had a much more profound effect on me from the first time I read it, and I thought the last line of the speech I Wish You Way More Than Luck could work perfectly within the musical framework. In some ways the song felt like it came to us, it’s hard to explain when those things happen, but we’re happy it did.”
"Water" and its B-side "Connecticut" were written by Matt Lowell and produced by Mike Davis, with Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, My Bloody Valentine, The Smashing Pumpkins) mixing the record.
Accompanying the album's announcement is the official Saoli Nash-directed music video for "Water". The video’s Creative Director, Warren Fu, a close friend and frequent collaborator from over the years, directed the band’s first music video for "Loveless".
