Moon & Back Music

Up until I heard this song, I wouldn’t have believed that a bit of old school MJ, Led Zep – esque vocals mixed with a beat that resembles the ever present indie pop would have worked. But then, I wouldn’t have told you Africa was a continent, either.
I digress. The point is, the mixture works. Its nano-speed drumming kept me focused, and although the melodies and lyrics had their moments: ‘You’re in control, so why should you be fighting me?’, they tended to fade into one noise. I can only assume from that that after listening to it a few times, it didn’t grab me.
This is unfortunate; because it’s a very good effort from some very talented musicians – it’s catchy, it’s upbeat, it’s everything a good song should be. But the change in tempo was welcome; it made me realize I hadn’t been paying enough attention, especially the lyrics, that, although they are original, were all too familiar, to say I loved it.
Shame.
