El Moono announce debut album ‘The Waking Sun’
EL MOONO have announced their debut album!
Titled The Waking Sun, the upcoming album from the Brighton-based alt rock band is their debut full-length album (and follow-up to 2022’s Temple Corrupted EP), and is schedule to be released in May this year, via Lockjaw Records.
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; The First Man On Mars. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming debut, following on from Chains, which was released in October last year.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “modern life looks more like a dystopia every day – the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and billionaires are planning their escape to Mars. The First Man On Mars is a comment on the billionaire space race, and how we’re allowing those billions to be invested in a vanity project, rather than problems that affect us all on earth. Sometimes we feel like we’re stuck in the Truman Show, with no escape from our predetermined fates. Musically, the track sums up our band’s divergent style of songwriting, with verses of world-music tinged pop suddenly juxtaposed by doom-metal sludge sections, and accentuated by the biggest riff we’ve ever written.”
