Moon King
Theme for Moon King
By Stephen CarlickThe former Spiral Beach pair, Toronto's Daniel Woodhead and Maddy Wilde, are now Moon King. Under their new moniker, the pair have created a brand of future folk (as they dub it) that melds jittery drum machines with twangy, strummed guitars and joyously hollered vocals. Seven-inch single "Theme for Moon King" adds the catchy title track to newly recorded versions of "Old" and "Dead," songs that originally appeared in lo-fi iterations on the Big Dumb Blue Angel EP. Though some of the fun is missing from the newer versions ― "Old," in particular, is a little too slowed down ― they sound better and show Woodhead and Wilde upgrading from a rickety, slapdash recording style to one that's more attentive to detail, and deliberate. It could be the final ingredient the pair needed to catch a few more ears. If you aren't listening yet, now's the time to start.
