Los Angeles trio Lo Moon release "Satellite" today, their first new track in more than two years, while also announcing a new label partnership with Easy Does It Records and PIAS. Produced with Alex Farrar, whose recent work includes Wednesday, MJ Lenderman and Hotline TNT, "Satellite" pushes the band toward a more immediate combination of 1990s alternative rock and glossy 2000s guitar music.
Frontman Matt Lowell describes the song as an exploration of fatherhood, loss and the persistent adult sensation of trying to work out how life operates shortly after somebody has apparently changed the instructions.
The track actually existed physically before its proper digital release: Lo Moon pressed an earlier Alan Moulder mix onto a limited seven-inch and handed copies to audiences attending intimate UK shows earlier this year. Fans then spent months asking where everyone else could hear it. "Satellite" now supplies the answer and points toward a much busier 2027, including international touring. After emerging with the expansive Loveless a decade ago, Lo Moon have always made emotionally widescreen music. "Satellite" suggests somebody has now turned the engine over and put considerably more fuel in it.
