Returning off the back of a busy 2019 of new releases and live shows, Perth’s Monsoon Moon is adapting to the challenges and changes currently affecting the music industry. Striving ahead, the producer and songwriter has announced the long-awaited release of his self-titled EP and from it, he shares a brand new single in ‘Golden Goose’.
A Fitting Taste of the EP to Come
Continuing to thrive in an indie-electronic realm, Monsoon Moon proves he is at his strongest when playing with dynamic arrangements and sounds. ‘Golden Goose’ is bright and enticing – a great example of what the full Monsoon Moon EP has in store upon its release this month.
Recorded at Digital Bath Studios in Perth, Monsoon Moon brought ‘Golden Goose’ and the full EP together on his own, producing, mixing and mastering the final product himself. Having established himself as a new artist to watch last year with the release of singles ‘Can’t Let Go’ and ‘Just Friends’, Monsoon Moon proves with this track that 2019 was just the tip of the iceberg.
Now in the solo spotlight, Monsoon Moon (Shaun Pickett, formerly of Command Q) has wasted no time in introducing himself and these new, fresh sounds to audiences around the country. Earning acclaim from online media, Triple J Unearthed and community radio alike, Monsoon Moon has been flourishing with each release.
The sounds of ‘Golden Goose’ and the Monsoon Moon EP remain seductive, as the electronic textures weave around glimmering beats with flair. It’s a great time for Monsoon Moon to be releasing music. At a time where musicians everywhere are having to change tactics and music plans in the face of COVID-19, Monsoon Moon is still optimistic about the impact music can have on his fans and community.
With the release of Monsoon Moon in April, Monsoon Moon is embracing a strong new chapter of this project. The six-track EP is primed to uplift, provoke and remind listeners that new music can land with impact, even in dire times for the industry. We’re at the beginning of a wave of new artistries and Monsoon Moon is showcasing his with the much anticipated release of this record.
