Old Moon rises again with the upcoming Cities of the Plain, due for release on June 3 via à La Carte Records.
A solo project of Tom Weir, of New Hampshire, it blends post-punk, indie, and shoegaze sounds. Old Moon began in 2019 and has released a full-length album (Altars), and EP (Past Lives), and more. They shared "Soma" from the upcoming album (below).
Weir explains:
“Soma" is a move towards a cleaner, brighter Old Moon sound and the first song that I wrote after finishing up my previous record Altars last year...It’s about trying to find a path forward even when the future is unclear and about weeding out the things in my life that were dragging me down. I worked with Shaun Durkan again for the mix on this song, and I love the way it came out so differently than the songs on Altars while still occupying a similar sonic space.
