Description
The sixth full-length album from Philadelphia-based dark-avant group Luna Honey in seven years...a genre-blending, pyretic journey to the extremes.
On Bound, Pond's sibylline lyrics unfold like ten short stories containing moments of humor and vulnerability that shine through the darkness. 'Vacuum Cleaner' is a brutal post-modern aria with hints of Flannery O'Connor that tackles technology, gender, and progress with searing vocals that float above a maelstrom of noise and feedback. In the album's second half, tracks like 'Hriddel' provide a stark contrast with its lullaby minimalism and gauzy intimacy upheld by a lone vocal paired with Rhodes piano. While Luna Honey performs live with Pond on vocals and tenor baritone guitar, Flack on bass, and Schurr on guitar, Bound continues their history of exploration in the studio, with each member layering in textures and ghost melodies from a wide range of instruments and sound sources.
Luna Honey Bio:
Since their debut album Peace Will Grind You Down in 2018, Luna Honey, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Maura Pond, guitarist Benjamin Schurr, and bassist Levi Flack, has established a reputation as a bold, unflinchingly creative force. Born out of DC's DIY scene in 2017, the group's members have lived among Philadelphia's countless forgotten burial grounds since 2022.
