Montreal four-piece Half Moon Run stormed onto the Canadian indie scene back in 2012 with their debut full-length 'Dark Eyes'. Now, they're ready to follow it up with 'Sun Leads Me On' on Glassnote. The new material was written between their hometown of Montreal and a surfing getaway to California, though recording took place at Ontario's Bathouse Studios with acclaimed UK producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele). And while the new set of songs "largely eschews the alt-folk melancholia" of Dark Eyes, it does hear the band conveying concepts of beauty and honesty through unique instrumentation, classical arrangements and dark lyrics propelled by pulsating synths. 'Sun Leads Me On' was written after two years of exhausting touring and adapting to life in the band. LP - Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve.
