Los Angeles-based artist Common Moon builds a serene dream-pop glow on recent track “Underexposed,” venturing from lush bass pulsations to jangling guitar flows and ascending vocal emotion. The latter is present in the uplifted “I could’ve loved the mess you hide” sequence, sending chills in the soaring vocal work and punctuating guitar glistening. Subsequent yearning for one to have “shown me who you really are” compels, as does the artful “you were the lens I looked through, underexposed” — framing an underexposed photo in alignment with a relationship post-mortem analysis and ensuing personal catharsis. “Underexposed” is a lovely, melodically caressing single from Common Moon.
