The Soft Moon - When Its Over


A group somewhat at odds with the rock and roll fairy tale town they call home, San Francisco's The Soft Moon are to release their debut 7" 'Breathe the Fire' next week on Tally Ho's favourite uber-label Captured Tracks. The single is a gem and will surely excite fans of Blank Dogs, New Order and moody 80's synth work outs.

Eager to learn more, after checking out their Myspace we found something beautiful...

'When It's Over' floats along on electric currents, starting up like the Interpol we used to all know and love, as ghostly voices punctuate smoke-machine synths and an uncertain guitar stutter. Then just after the three minute mark when you think you've got it sussed, a piercing sonic boom crashes in that sounds like it should soundtrack the final moments of Danny Boyle's movie 'Sunshine', when the burning light of the dying sun consumes the sole survivor in glorious technicolour. The effect of this invasion of sound is all at once invigorating, unsettling and strikingly beautiful...try it with headphones.
