Half Moon Run’s unique sound fuses together the restless elements of indie, pop and roots with beautiful rhythmic harmonies, delicate guitar lines and a hint of warm electronica.
Since attracting the attention of industry in a run of global showcases throughout 2012, the international buzz has kept building. The band released their first single “Full Circle” in their home country, quickly gathering nearly 300,000 YouTube views before setting off on a US and European tours with Metric and Patrick Watson.
The track attracted the attention of tastemakers including BBC1’s Zane Lowe and influential LA station KCRW. Their run of global shows will bring their unique sound to Australian audiences including the Woodford Folk Festival and Peats Ridge.
Their increasingly complex arrangements are probably best explained by seeing them live.
Devon Portielje’s vocals are on a level rarely seen in the indie music scene and are backed up superbly by Conner Molander and Dylan Phillips.
Phillips often plays drums and keys simultaneously as Molander and Portielje shuffle between guitar, keys, samplers, and percussion.
Strong three-part harmonies hold down moody, psychedelic arrangements and electronic-infused soundscapes.
Appearing at both Woodford Folk festival and Peats Ridge music festival, this is a tour that’s not to be missed.
