Lo Moon have shared “Borrowed Hills”, a track off the band’s forthcoming album I Wish You Way More Than Luck, available April 5th Thirty Tigers/AWAL. Lo Moon will be playing SXSW 2024, starting March 13th. “Borrowed Hills” follows previous singles “Water” and a b-side “Connecticut”. All three tracks were written by Matt Lowell and produced by Mike Vernon Davis (Ratboys, Pool Kids, Great Grandpa), with Alan Moulder (Ride, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine) mixing the record. Lo Moon includes bassist/keyboardist Crisanta Baker, guitarist Sam Stewart, drummer Sterling Laws, and Lowell, the group’s singer, and chief songwriter. The band has toured with everyone from The War on Drugs, Phoenix, Glass Animals, Air, London Grammar, Chvrches, and many more.

Lo Moon’s Matt Lowell on “Borrowed Hill”:

“Like many of us, I had an overwhelming feeling of confusion during the height of the pandemic in 2020. It was a feeling that was strangely reminiscent of another time in my life…2001. I was recruited to play hockey as a kid and was attending Pomfret School in Connecticut during 9/11. My older sister was living in Manhattan, my parents were on Long Island and all communication was down. That complete confusion and isolation drew me to music and I picked up my roommate’s guitar and over the next week or so wrote my first song. My music teacher at the time convinced me to play the song in front of the entire student body in the iconic chapel on campus. Expressing the vulnerable feelings of the time and hearing my voice reverberating through that chapel altered my life. In December 2020, I went back to The Clark Chapel in search of reconnecting with that feeling. I hit record on my phone and Borrowed Hills was the first idea that came out. I shared it with the band and immediately we were on a path for our third record. During the recording process of the album we went back to the chapel, to capture the spirit of that room. We knew we needed to have that reverb, that pipe organ, that piano, our voices singing together in that space, and the overall feeling of just being in that space. So much of what we recorded in those couple days together made this record, and it all started with Borrowed Hills.”

Last year, Lo Moon played a series of SOLD OUT underplay residencies in Los Angeles and New York City. Throughout the run, the band was joined by special guests, including Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES, Adam Granduciel from The War On Drugs, Curt Smith from Tears For Fears, and Bartees Strange. The band next headed over to the UK and Europe for a couple of weeks
