“Come Away With Me” Moon King

Moon King has released a new video for “Come Away With Me”. Moon King, aka Daniel Benjamin, recently announced a new LP, Voice Of Lovers and shared the track “Neon Lights” (Ft. Vespre). Voice Of Lovers comes out on April 2nd via Arbutus Records (Tops, Sean Nicholas Savage). Moon King will be touring behind Voice Of Lovers, starting April 5th in Montreal.

Moon King on the track;

“”Come Away With Me” is musically inspired by Cake’s ‘Short Skirt Long Jacket,’ and lyrically by frequent trips to Montreal with a bunch of Detroit party maniacs.”

On Voice Of Lovers;

“There are a lot of quick cuts and transitions and the songs are pretty short, it’s meant to feel a bit breathless or disorienting, like driving around and dropping in at a few different clubs in a night. lyrically the songs are little stories from the last couple of years…… trying to live in the US as a non-citizen, listening to records at the apartment in Hamtramck, late nights out at parties like Freakish Pleasures and Macho City, trips with the crew to Montreal, being on tour during the 2016 US election, spending the holidays alone in Detroit, the deaths of George Michael & Prince and the unfinished Moon King record from 2015. it’s dark and fun and a little nihilistic but ultimately positive.”
