The Big Moon have shared details of their third studio album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'Walking Like We Do' is called 'Here Is Everything' and will arrive through Fiction Records on October 14. It was mostly self-produced, with the London group also working alongside CECIL and Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Allen.
Introducing it online, the band have also shared the emotion-fuelled first single, Wide Eyes, a shimmering, blissed-out alt-pop track that's propelled by a driving beat. Guitarist and vocalist Jules Jackson said:
"I was desperate to write a really big, happy song. My soul was overflowing with the joy of something but I was too physically and mentally exhausted to actually string words together and define it and make music with it. In late 2021, I met Jessica Winter who came into my life like an angel and helped me turn those jumbled feelings into a song and I think it’s just a mad snapshot of a time when life just felt huge and holy and raw and incredible. I was nursing a five-month-old baby, I was barely sleeping, I was losing my hair, I was pumping and sweating and crying and lonely and only just about coping, but amongst all that, I felt a burning love and a new kind of happiness. I guess the world felt innocent again. For a while anyway.
"For me, this song feels so personal but when Soph, Celia and Fern stepped in, it turned into something bigger, and it feels like friendship and promise - we have loved every minute of being back together and doing what we do.
"With this song I get to spend three and a half minutes in that place, and that time, and I’m so glad I have it and I’m so glad I get to share it with people."
