When Californian songwriter Maddy Myers and Danish guitarist Gustav Moltke decided to collaborate, Moon Panda was born. Now, with a bewitching video to accompany their latest single Gun, they have announced a free show in London at The Old Blue Last on August 1st with support from White Flowers and Auld.
The new video follows a figure played by Myers exploring the mystical charms of a beautiful yet twisted house. The theme is a play on the perception of reality and imagination, while the mix combines influences from bands like Portishead and Beach House to present a luscious and inviting groove with hints of indie-pop and reggae. Gun, the latest track from Moon Panda, is a dream-sequence of interactions between Myers, a lizard, and a house, with gorgeous cinematography and a sense that both the world and the night conspire against us. Yet we persist.
