The Moonwalk For The Modern Age

posted in: Artist Features

There comes a time in life when you just gotta let go of your prejudgments and rock out to some keytar. Walk The Moon is dedicated to ushering in that time. Over and over again. The Cleveland band crafts soulful synth rock in the vein of XTC, ELO and Squeeze. It’s music that’s as stylish as it is reckless, inciting sweaty dance parties of youth in fedoras and skinny jeans. Stone Cold Fox is a kinetic theater of sighing stringed instruments, keytar zaps and heart attack drums. Angeline is a full-on party with a diverse cast of characters. The bass saunters sexily, the strings glide mournfully, and the keys cheerfully bubble over everything. Multiple personalities make for some killer art. However dysfunctional they may seem on paper, Walk The Moon’s protean melodies are always triumphant. Next time you want to throw down with some throw-back party music, you’ll know where to go.
