_“Shoegaze is a genre where you get lost in walls of sound and whatnot. In a psychedelic
sound, between reverbs… You need songs. These guys have them. They are very cool.”–**
Binaural.es**_

**Newmoon** is a shoegaze band hailing from Antwerp, Belgium, known for their dreamy
melodies, atmospheric soundscapes, and emotive lyrics.

With two acclaimed albums and a 7” EP already under their belt, the band continues
to create a world where shoegaze, post punk and alternative rock meet.

The band’s upcoming album **“Temporary Light,”** (out March 22, 2024 via **PIAS 
Recordings (EU)** and **Manifesto Entertainment (US)**, a new imprint label under
the **Quiet Panic** umbrella) marks the next step in their musical evolution, showcasing
their growth as a band and their dedication to creating transformative music.

Of the album’s first single **“Fading Phase,”** the band says, _“While writing this
album Bert got a new guitar. It was an older Rickebacker from the 90’s with loads
of wear and tear on it already. Definitely a guitar that had been loved by an older
guitar player before he got it. The main riff of “Fading Phase” was the first thing
he wrote on that guitar and after that the whole song just kind of wrote itself.
Definitely one of those moments where everything just falls into place.”_

Brace yourselves for an enchanting musical journey as Newmoon, the acclaimed shoegaze
band from Antwerp, Belgium, unveils the first single (“Fading Phase”) off their 
third studio album “Temporary Light.” The brand-new release promises to mesmerize
fans and captivate new listeners.

“Temporary Light” weaves a sonic tapestry that harks back to the band’s roots, yet
retains a fresh approach that keeps their music alluring. Blending airy vocals with
lush guitars, Newmoon creates an immersive sound that sweeps listeners off their
feet into a striking world that feels distant yet familiar at the same time.

Joined by new drummer, Conor Dawson, “Temporary Light” marks an exciting chapter
in Newmoon’s evolution. The band’s signature feel for grand yet delicate melodies
are enriched by Dawson’s rhythmic finesse, adding a layer of depth and musicality
to their songs.

After a more melodic approach on their previous release, Newmoon returns to embrace
their abrasive, dreamy and ethereal sound on “Temporary Light”. With their blooming
guitars and gracefully haunting melodies, they captivate listeners throughout the
8 tracks. From gentle melodies and catchy hooks to plush walls of guitars and pummeling
drums.

_“Thick layers of guitars always felt natural to us, and are kind of our main thing.
We wanted to explore some ideas that have been in the back of our mind ever since
we started this band,”_ says Bert Cannaerts. _“As soon as we let go of trying to
write a specific type of album, the songs grew organically and everything just clicked.”_

Having previously recorded “Space” and the band’s debut EP “Invitation To Hold”,
Newmoon enlisted engineer and producer **Thomas Valkiers** again to record “Temporary
Light”. Additionally, **Simon Scott** of **Slowdive**, renowned as one of the key
people within the shoegazing genre, is responsible for mastering, truly elevating
the sound of “Temporary Light”.

For the cover art, the band contacted Brussels-based American painter **[Janise Yntema](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=19797688.51127.1.8b91b7daa3d11a1db85679bdf1722e45).**_“
When we saw her painting everything just clicked,”_ explains Cannaerts. _“We were
immediately drawn to it and it felt like it fit the theme of the album so well. 
We got her permission right as we went into the studio so it also gave us some form
of visual reference while recording.” The original painting is from 2019 and is 
titled ‘Morning Sky’.”_

“Temporary Light” will be out on March 22, 2024 via PIAS Recordings (EU) and Manifesto
Entertainment (US). The album marks the first release from Manifesto Entertainment,
a new imprint label under the Quiet Panic umbrella.

_**What others have said:**_
_“…brings to mind more recent exponents of shoegaze
such as the brilliant Nothing or perhaps Whirr at their most chipper.”- **God Is
In The TV**_

_“…ethereal vocals bubbling over an enveloping and dreamy sound…”- **Joy Of Violent
Movement**_

_“Haunting melodies, lots of layers and reverb and enough variety to speak of one
of the most surprising and best ep’s to come out of Europe this year.”- **Some Will
Never Know**_

_“dreamy…otherworldly…”- **DIY**_
