Brightmoon – “First Light”
Brightmoon is both the brainchild of Becca Mohler and husband Billy Mohler and “First Light” is their latest. I’m not a huge Thundercats fan because one dude sucked all of the fun out of it way back in the day, but Brightmoon is also the name of the setting for the land in She-Ra and the Princess of Power. If you’re not a nerd or live under a rock, 5/6 of that probably didn’t make any sense (sorry, Google it).
Musically, it feels like a great, slow-mo underwater song – for some reason that I can’t eloquently explain. That 90’s shoegaze aesthetic is strong here, but it manages to feel like something new, as opposed to a retread. It’s a great guitar-forward track that somehow feels like four seconds and also four years. I literally got lost in it as I was listening the first go around and I was quite surprised.
You can hear it below on Soundcloud, as well as Spotify. They’ll be releasing an EP via Noon Records in the near future so keep your eyes peeled for that!
