Leeds/London-based Alt-indie electronica duo, The Moontown Project, released their latest eclectically layered single, ‘Moon Honey’, on January 28th, 2021.

Their synth-led single carousels around the warmer end of the tonal palette while keeping cross-genre experimentation at its core. Following the same genre-melding tendencies as the likes of Gorillaz and MGMT, Moon Honey oozes mainstream indie appeal while allowing elements of house, techno and electronic funk to occupy the soundscape.

The roguishly sweet vocals stay on the right side of salacious as they play with lyricism influenced by artists such as King Krule, The Pixies and Baxter Drury; ticking yet another box for dynamism.

The Moontown Project said:

“Moon Honey is simply a construct personifying a regrettable, yet enormously fun decision. The single was inspired by the disco sounds of the 70s and 80s and artists such as Jocelyn Brown and Sister Sledge, merged with more modern takes on funky sounds, under the influence of artists such as Jungle and Parcels with their synth heavy, spacey riffs and grooves.”

Amelia Vandergast at A&R Factory said:

“You can practically hear caution being thrown to the wind between the shimmering funk-glazed notes in Moon Honey; the melodies perfectly capture the dizzy ecstasy of embracing temptation. Hedonism has never sounded sweeter.”
