Milwaukee-based project Known Moons unveil their third single from the upcoming Everything Is EP. “This Hell” straddles colorful synth-laden hookiness with a moody post-punk undercurrent, complemented by lyrics that ruminate on consequence and a sense of disillusionment. Gone now, they’re jaded, complacent,” the vocals let out, traversing into a buzzing guitar resonance alongside starry-eyed synths; this sequence is especially exemplary of the project’s tonally dynamic charm. “This Hell” has us firmly anticipating the upcoming EP.
The project’s recent string of singles — starting with “By the Billions” this past October — is the byproduct of a week-long recording session at Silver City Studios in Milwaukee, taking place in early 2023 and involving Andrew James, Elliott Douglas (M.A.G.S.) and Josh Evert (Dinner Set Gang).
