Luna Shadows, recently shared new single “witches’ brew,” the artist/producer’s track was written in the midst of Luna’s struggle to create while battling depression and anxiety, delving deep into an ocean of darkness and uncertainty before soaring up to the surface to break through into a ray of hope and light. “witches’ brew” is the lead-track off their forthcoming album.

Luna Shadows on “”witches’ brew””

“”witches’ brew” is a diary entry from rock bottom, a soundtrack companion to what felt like an insurmountable depressive episode – specifically in my case coping with premenstrual depression & anxiety (PMDD). It’s from a moment where I felt like I would never again have the capacity to experience joy, like I would never again see the sun. While I’m in it, I imagine the feeling will go on forever — until the light slowly appears, and I recognize that this darkness is part of a cycle that will eventually come to a close.”

In 2021 Luna Shadows shared her debut LP Digital Pacific, a collaboration born out of her experiences working with Bradley Hale and Thom Powers (The Naked and Famous), Digital Pacific is Shadows’ manifesto, where as songwriter, producer, and creative director, she’s executed self-possession across an expansive 18-tracks. The album peers through a digital lens and explores deeply human themes like self-affirmation, anxiety, and disillusionment. Shadows weaves a tapestry of hypnotic electronica throughout; her songs creep and consume, capturing listeners in a haze of mesmerism. Both visually and sonically, the album has a recurring theme of digital distortion and glitch. The theme of modern technology is not only lyrical, but extends into the production itself: pushing audio and visual to digital limits and seeing what happens. The glitter of the record is bit-crushed beeps, iPhone memos, lo-fi elements, reversed oceans, bad streaming crunch, broken synths, and white noise.
