about

"We all have moons we long to return to."

Whether it's home, or a vignette of what we realized was a beautiful and pristine moment in life, we all have moons, or recurrent pieces of our lives that we long to return to.

Chasing Moons is a cinematic and musical exploration of this, with a main theme for these moons and their various sightings. Up til the climactic track, Daylight Moon (Track 5), we are exploring different innocent realizations. Everything after Daylight Moon is an attempt to understand what that moment was, and to attempt to return to it.

We finally discover what it is we were looking for in the final official album track, Track 12, Over An Unnamed Road. From Tango to Impressionistic writing, to vintage sounding Chasons, to intimate piano and vocal moments, Chasing Moons is an emotional experience.

The final two tracks are bonus tracks in the world of Dust and Ions, Track 13, The Comet From Afar, and Track 14, Sophia at the Window (ft. Yara Zgheib's spoken narration.)
