Moon Darling – In The Press

“A fluid, controlled strain of psych rock. Tweaks your nostalgia ganglia for Stone Roses’ more subdued moments.” — The Stranger (Seattle)

“Reminiscent of the bewitching psych rock of the 70s; Escobar’s vocals coupled with the groovy guitar riff make for an infectious tune that won’t leave your head. The steady bassline as well as Nuño’s percussive expertise act as the sprinkles on top of this fantastic teaser for their 2018 EP.” — Tom Tom Mag

“Gently hallucinogenic.” — The Revue

About Moon Darling

The fierce fretwork of Michael Julian Escobar on the upcoming Moon Darling EP “By The Light of The Moon” (Jan. 26^th, 2018) is matched by his Madison Square Garden-level vocals, and Moon Darling’s compelling presentation doesn't stop there.

The not-so-hidden ace here is likely drummer, Michelle Nuño, as heard in the EP's title track, premiered via Tom Tom Mag, the publication with the tag line: “Drummers | Music | Feminism.”

Not to belabor the concept that a rock band of men with a female drummer is merely “interesting,” because what’s actually interesting here is Nuño’s drumming itself. Her playing is truly accompaniment - the songs on “By The Light of The Moon” would not be the same without Nuño’s contributions.

Rounding out Moon Darling’s sound is bass guitarist, Jack Jay laying down sneaky, winding, and always in the pocket lines, along with keyboardist, Matthew Buckner.

One of Seattle’s most respected and embedded music journalists, Dave Segal, previously described Moon Darling for venerable local weekly The Stranger by saying that the band plays “a fluid, controlled strain of psych rock” that “tweaks your nostalgia ganglia for Stone Roses’ more subdued moments.”

“By The Light of The Moon,” the latest from Seattle-based band, Moon Darling arrives on Jan. 26^th, 2018 preceded by the EP’s title track, streaming now. Members of Moon Darling are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
