Praise for HALF MOON RUN

“Half Moon Run are renowned for their stunning three-part harmonies…with Portielje at the helm, he steered Molander, Phillips and Symonds through a series of delicately-balanced melodies that sent shivers down every spine.” – Scenestr

“The spacious emotionality of (Half Moon Run’s) first album, comprised equally of slow-burn indie-rock and sucker-punch sonics, made us chime the phrase, ‘they are going to be massive’.” – Music Feeds

“Anchored by Devon Portielje, all four members harmonize on songs with measured, gentle guitar arrangements that lend the album a mellow, ethereal feel.” – Rolling Stone

“The band consistently push their sound to new unexplored depths while still maintaining the iconic Half Moon Run sound.” – Tone Deaf

“…an amalgamation of a lot of good decisions” – Paste

Canadian indie outfit Half Moon Run have released their new single “All At Once”. Set to be reimagined in one of their now-trademark isolation style YouTube performances, the track is infused with sunlight, carried along by a delicately-plucked acoustic line, a soft drumline and expansive reverb-drenched guitars.

Their recent releases were originally recorded during sessions for their third album, but were reimagined while in quarantine. The band describes “All At Once” as being, “about observing and appreciating the present moment but also acknowledging the meaninglessness and impermanence of the present in a universal context.”

Formed in 2009 in Montreal’s Mile End neighbourhood, Half Moon Run have spent the last eleven years practicing and perfecting their craft, as demonstrated through their discography of three successful albums and a slew of smash hits.

Half Moon Run have consistently proven themselves to be the ones to watch as their albums Dark Eyes and The Sun Leads Me On have achieved platinum and gold status, respectively, in their native country. The release of Sun Leads Me On in 2015 welcomed very warm reviews from music media and saw the band climb the charts worldwide, especially in Australia — “Turn Your Love,” which served as the album’s second single, reached #1 on triple j and received extensive airplay from the station.

Following a tremendous 24 months of touring, the band took some time to rest before returning to the studio to cook up their third LP. 2019’s A Blemish in the Great Light saw the band take strands from their previous work, utilising multi-layered instrumentation, intricate shapes and patterns, and a veritable cascading of melody, merging it with more vivid colours and a hint of playfulness.

Now, Half Moon Run have returned with a collection of gorgeous singles, each premiered with its own isolation-style live performance video, showcasing the delicate three-part harmonies that have become the band’s signature over the years.

The band have always been known for their live shows, which Dansende Beren describe best, “The public loves Half Moon Run, and that is mutual. You can’t get more love and warmth going on in an evening.” The band were ready to continue to spread that love through a long list of 2020 tour dates, but with the world in isolation, they have had to readjust. In the meantime, they hope to deliver as much of that energy as they can by continuing to share new performance videos and music with the world.

“All At Once” is available on all platforms now.
