Moon and Aries, formed by Jordana Moon and Tom Aries, is a reflection of some of the most convincing blasts of Synthpop in the last few months. The Canadian-German musical project’s 6th release, “Toxic City,” is filled with nostalgia and retro vibes, awakening random memories that make you smile.
Once again, they rely on 80s-inspired rhythms while their lyrics explore futuristic themes. Not for nothing, they refer to themselves as a “galactic duo surfing the quantum of the Universe.”
With “Toxic City,” these creative artists foresee a dystopia in tomorrow’s world. Empty streets, fear, and a mournful melancholy; that is all that remains!
Beyond the intriguing synths, Moon and Aries’ thought-provoking lyrical vision dominates their original work. Besides, you can perceive its moods, often as dark as somber but with a pinch of Pop.
On the whole, no one can deny that such potent, dreamy vocals are probably the best ingredient. Perhaps, something of a revelation in their capacity as newcomers.
Among the duo’s current influences, you can tell they share a similar style to the likes of Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, etc. Above all, “Toxic City” is part of the forthcoming full-length album, ‘Glory Attack’, due out in April 2022.
In the meantime, keep discovering rich sonic textures that distinguish their melodic gems via the social media channels below.
