If It's Too Loud...

Seattle based classically trained cellist Jeremiah Moon is back with a new single. Much like his previous single, "Kind of Light," "Melusine" is somehow experimental and more pop oriented than you would expect. The cello is an underappreciated and underutilized instrument even in the world of folk. "Melusine" has that freak folk or experimental folk vibe, but Moon is bringing in some serious pop sensibilities to his songs. This isn't a traditional song by any stretch of what you would expect. It seems to meander about at will, barely following any traditional song structure. But... there's just enough to make it almost a pop song.  You can watch the video for "Melusine" below. Sputnik is out now on Enci Records and can be found here . For more on Jeremiah Moon, check out the artist's website .

Jeremiah Moon started taking cello lessons at the age of seven and began studying cello performance at Boston University. In 2013 he moved out to Seattle and started performing with guitarists. In 2018 he started working more seriously as a songwriter. His upcoming EP was recorded in a cabin in Florence, OR. The first single off that EP, "Kinds of Light," is more mainstream than you would expect from a classically trained cellist. I'm going to use the term "folk," but only because I don't truly have anything else. "Kinds of Light" is somehow more pop than I would have expected, and also more experimental. It's one of those songs that's starts off more standard and traditional but ends in what would be a noise rock breakdown if this wasn't cello based. You can watch the video for "Kinds of Light" below. Sputnik will be released on Enci Records. For more on Jeremiah Moon, check out the artist's website .
