Kid Hyena make The Man Who Sold The Moon feel like street-corner mythology

Kid Hyena’s The Man Who Sold The Moon sounds like a fable before you even press play. Released on 2 June as part of It Takes Courage To Be Happy (Electric Edition), the track finds the Barcelona-born, UK-based project working in that lively borderland between indie alternative, alternative rock, quirky pop and urban folk. The title has the charm of an old street tale, and that suits Kid Hyena’s whole energy: music that feels mobile, handmade and built for real rooms rather than sterile playlists. Written by Matt Kemp and Maria Moreno, the song suggests a band interested in storytelling as much as sound. That matters because folk music, at its best, has always been a vehicle for impossible little stories that reveal very possible human truths. The Man Who Sold The Moon has exactly that kind of promise: playful on the surface, but carrying a deeper question about value, fantasy and the strange things people are willing to trade away.
