Exciting post-metal outfit\u00a0El Moono<\/strong> continue to preview their upcoming debut album,\u00a0‘The Waking Sun’<\/em>. With the album due for release on May 10th, the Brighton-based quartet have shared its latest single – ‘Haunting’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Led by anxiety-inducing strings, wiry guitars, and a slow-burning build, it’s another enticing track from El Moono<\/strong>.\u00a0“‘Haunting’ was written from the perspective of my partner. The lyrics address the toxicity of body dysmorphia, and immerse the listener in the body of someone experiencing it,”<\/em>\u00a0El Moono<\/strong> commented. “The shoegaze-influenced choruses of ‘Haunting’ are punctuated by Chris\u2019 (Cartwright) blast-beat sections, while Jim\u2019s (Haas) overdubs of a Rhodes keyboard re-amped through tonnes of reverb are providing the spacey highs. We didn\u2019t have the opportunity to record a real choir for the breakdown, but we layered multiple Zac’s (Jackson) alongside vocals from Rebecca Tranter.”<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Haunting’<\/em> follows previous ‘Song of the Day’<\/em> pick,\u00a0‘The Charm’<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Musically, the track once again shows El Moono<\/strong>‘s sonic prowess. It’s an element the four-piece will highlight when they host a special unveiling of the album at the\u00a0Dolby Screening Room in London on 8th May. It’ll allow a limited number of fans to hear the album delivered in a 360-degree spatial Dolby Atmos mix, two days before it’s released. An additional session will be held on 17th May in Brighton.<\/p>\n

El Moono has also announced a UK Tour<\/h2>\n
