Upstate New York (USA)-based dreamgaze/post-punk artist Dotsun Moon has announced forthcoming third album, Tiger, sharing the video for the invigorating "Bring Love" and penetrating "Give Up The Tears", two choice offerings from an album that is, both in spirit and sound, influenced by M83’s epic "Before The Dawn Heals Us" and New Order's "Ceremony" and "Temptation" phases.
Revolving around the musings of Richard Flierl and based in Buffalo, Dotsun Moon has gone through several incarnations since releasing their debut album 4 A.M. back in 2011, but the trajectory remains steadfast on a path of dreamy rock offerings over the years, with multi-instrumentalist Flierl also gradually assuming vocal duties.
Richard Flierl comments: "The song 'Bring Love' is about accepting a breakup and hoping someday for a reconciliation. This song would fit right in at the end of a number of John Hughes films. The guitar riff plays along with angelic synths as I sing the line “see it [love] all around,” a call for love to return in any form. On the other hand, 'Give Up The Tears' is anthemic hopefulness seeing the best the world has to offer with its opening synth note and Will Sergeant-influenced guitar. This is one of those songs made for sun-setting summer driving with the windows wide open. The drums pound and move the song along in turn increasing the power of the entire song."
"Bring Love" and penetrating "Give Up The Tears" are out now, and you are invited to give them a listen. Dotsun Moon's next single, "Never Had A Heart" will be released on 30 April. The full Tiger album is set for release on 27 June as a self-release. Link
