Circling Back to Ugly Moon

Up in Rhode Island, Ugly Moon quietly dropped their self-titled LP, but man, I love this opening tune, and perhaps today it’s got that yearning forcefulness you’re seeking in your week. When you first meet it, you’ll find it difficult to pick your favorite aspect; I loved the crunchy ring of the guitars, feeling every bit like a pop version of GBV. But, then, there’s this pain in the first vocal you get, a sort or world-weariness, and that’s a special vibe that can’t be replicated, nor well explained I imagine. It’s a big powerful statement, and one that should lead you into listening to their new LP!
