The Big Moon - Silent Movie Susie

It can take some bands years to replicate their live game on record. For an unlucky few, it’s like a double-edged sword and a constant curse. Energy doesn’t translate to tape with ease, that much is evident. But no such problem hits The Big Moon, a group whose all-smiles, berserk on-stage dynamic is their biggest draw. With new single ‘Silent Movie Susie’, these antics are peering out from every side.

Built from customary “woo-ooh-ooh” refrains and Jules Jackson’s sophisticated songwriting, this is just as fun, ever-changing and enthralling as your everyday Big Moon gig. Backing vocals extend into breathless yelps, guitar sections link arms and stride together, and a playful side fleshes out into something substantial. Nothing quite compares to witnessing the experience IRL, but this is a perfect antidote to being stuck at home instead of in a sweaty venue.
