Kaz Moon spent the past two years assembling Curses! parts 1 and 2, a duo of EPs that saw the artist maturing from bedroom pop one-off to rising indie auteur. His music, a marriage of raw production and sensitive, catchy songwriting, has independently garnered over 15M streams across platforms, boasts 300k monthly listeners, and acquired a growing cult following.
ST*R *NISE (his forthcoming project) sees Kaz presenting an inimitable new style: punchy futuristic pop driven by guitars and laced with deep-fried samples of unknown origin. The new sound supports Kaz’s conversational, naturalistic songwriting, which continues to mature.
Kaz Moon presents us with something sultry and somewhat psychedelic with his new single “A Lot to Explain.” The guitar playing at its center has an indie flair on a familiar jazz-influenced progression while the production around it is anything but traditional. With spontaneous outbursts of early Nintendo-esque synths over top a mostly chilled-out drum machine and a very neo-soul bassline he brings it all together with versatile vocal stylings and pleasantly poetic lyricism. Â
