Half Moon Run

If this is your first time listening to the podcast, then just know I’m very excited to hear that. In many ways this chat I had with Connor and Dylan of Canadian indie band Half Moon Run feels like how I want every episode of this podcast to feel: lovers of art talking about how life influences art. Don’t get me wrong, we tend to achieve that across our episodes, but Half Moon Run is unique in how those contemplations of art and life became very do-or-die for the band. Their most recent album, Salt, is the sound of three people fully surrendering themselves to pursuing creativity. Does that sound pretentious? Fuck yeah it does, but the end result of them doing that is an album that’s both fun to listen to and massively transcendent. It’s easily their most complete body of work, and this episode centers around that journey; particularly how it was a transformative experience for the band. 

Also a heads up, later this week there’ll be a bonus episode dropping with Jennifer McCord, my dear friend and the band’s photographer. Be sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss out on that release. After you hear the episode, be sure to check out Half Moon Run’s track Hotel in Memphis on the official New Exchange Playlist. Also, be sure to follow Lo Moon on Spotify and Instagram.
