New Music: Luna Shadows – millennia

It’s a quick return to the blog for the former touring member of New Zealand synth-pop group The Naked and Famous, Luna Shadows. Following on from November’s practice, she’s back with the equally enchanting millennia.

Shadows teamed up with artist/writer Chelsea Jade to write the track, which also features Bradley Hale of Now Now and Thomas Powers of The Naked & Famous on production duties. With a pedigree like that you know you are in for something special. A deep bassline sets us up for what is in fact a charming and bubbly electropop arrangement. Though that may sound at odds with the weighty subject of the lyrics, Luna Shadow’s vocal delivery fuses the two strands with considerable finesse. A fusion of light and dark, it won’t fail to make inroads to your soul.

The Echo Park resident had this to say about the track: “millennia is essentially about different styles of dispute and communication. There are some people who prefer to confront things right away and talk until resolution is reached; conversely, there are others who run in the opposite direction and avoid confrontation all together. I personally find that the silent treatment tends to be more painful than confrontation.”

You can listen or buy millennia on all major digital platforms. Head over to Luna Shadow’s official Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter accounts to find out more about the artist and her music.
