Luna Shadows

Luna Shadows writes and produces out of her bedroom in Los Angeles, shaping songs under the shade of the palms. Much like a spider, the singer-songwriter spins an ethereal web, pulling all the strings on her tracks. Each song: a layered and thoughtful production, and wholly her own. Emerging in 2016, Billboard called her debut “Some of the most refreshingly soulful and haunting indie pop to come out this year.” She rapidly captured the attention of the alternative scene with early single Hallelujah California, which rose to #8 on Spotify’s US Viral Chart, and her catalog has since independently achieved 50 million streams across platforms.
Opening a window into her memories, Luna’s sophomore album bathwater promises all the polish of her previous work while demonstrating a deliberate and intimate lyricism. A collection of songs exploring love, loss, grief, realization, recovery, and remembering, these guitar-driven silhouettes mark the start of a new era for Shadows. Shapeshifting for us, Shadows trades sparkling electro pop for emotive indie rock. Written in isolation over the pandemic, she presents us with a record that is startlingly forgiving and optimistic, while confronting the pain she’s stumbled onto in her reflections. As the album’s sole lyricist, she searches for her best self in her darkest depths. She urges her listeners to uncover our own wounds, revisit our family histories, and allow ourselves to feel everything: good cannot exist without bad, and light would be nothing without dark. Pieced together digitally with long-distance co-producer Bradley Hale and recorded from home by Shadows’ herself, she’s whispering in our ear as we walk together through the labyrinth of her mind. It’s Luna Shadows as personal as we’ve ever seen her, and at the top of her game. Her vision is clear, nostalgic and as satisfying as a full moon.
