Hazy and raw, Mooncult deliver a song that feels straight out of the heyday of grunge music on “Leave Me Here”. The second single from this Brooklyn based outfit exudes a sense of lackadaisical confidence and pureness in its energy that’s only possible when an artist feels that reassured sense of complete and unwavering commitment to their own artistic sensibility. The vocals work with their rather devil may care attitude that combines a level of angst with a crispness in the guitar work and driving carry from the drums.
Leave Me Here is rock and roll from an age gone a while away. It’s garage in some ways, grunge in others, and defiantly alternative and psychedelic in others still. What’s undeniable is that Mooncult have a style and suave swagger that they and they alone can carry with splendour.
For anyone who has grunge playlists still on repeat, this is bound to be a modern addition that’s bound to bring a smile to your face.
