Moonspeak and the art rock poised powerful ballad "Exceptions" leaves a lasting impression
Moonspeak's lush hyper-realistic art rock passion play "Escape Velocity"
Moonspeak and the hyper realistic artful universe of "Missing Things"
Moonspeak feels more earthbound on "Common Ground" but it still has stars in it's eyes
The title track off the album, "Nowanights", with it's acoustic core, feels maybe less grand, but not any less emotional and art rock poised. At the center of Moonspeak is Robert Jallinder (Vita Bergen) and the compositions always feel (to me) to be fused out of hope, longing to be loved, losing oneself and finding oneself during that internal struggle we all have but framed in such an artful dreamy way. The songs feel like they stem from dreams or create these magical reboots in our mind.
Dreams after all are mysterious things, and "Nowanights" (the song) with it's organic wanderlust, whistling and picking acoustic sentimentality feels universal. The simple structure and Jallinder's forlorn vocal aesthetic has a familial sadness. The production, as developed by band member Jakob Kullberg (who produced the entire album), envelopes you with droning organ sounds, big bass and heavy ascensions that give way to lovely violin orchestration held up by sparse piano is sublime. When the song explodes, the way Moonspeak songs do, you don't know whether to cry or to revel in hope.
