It’s not every day that we find sophisticated music that conveys philosophical concepts through a lush, fused sound of pop, electronica, and waves of nostalgia too. But Moon and Aries always succeed in balancing this equation in such a seamless way! They go against gravity and fly high, taking us with them and allowing us to explore new galaxies made with their delicate artistic fabrics. This time, adventure is powered by their latest release, “Resolutions.”
Moon and Aries are an exceptional pair that manages to present us with their rich waves literally across the ocean. Moon is the Western Canada-based singer-songwriter Jordana Moon, and Aries is the Western Germany-based electronic synthesizer musician, songwriter, and producer Tom Aries. They’ve been carving their trademark since 2021, and so far, their splendid releases have included 23 songs. One concept album, “THE ARRIVAL,” one EP, “PARADISE,” and their actual album, “BREAK THE MATRIX.” And since we’re solid fans, you’ll find them all reviewed here.
There’s an obvious disco vibe, yet it’s not the kind of song that just leads you to the dance floor; it rather takes you to a deep dimension where you can find the answers you’ve been searching for and dance a celebratory dance. Tom’s synth notes do their magic as always and urge you to move and be moved at the same time. And Jordana’s silky vocals harmonize with the beats to hypnotize the listener and make them discover new resolutions.
“Resolution” has a top-tier production that builds alluring soundscapes and well-thought-out textures. But next to its music, it has Moon and Aries’ signature: caring to speak to the conscious and subconscious through their profound lyricism and how they back it up well with the instrumentation.
Once more, the music of the dynamic duo Moon and Aries has us spellbound. The good news is that “Resolutions” is the first dazzling glimpse of a full concept album titled “Resolutions and Revolutions.” So stay tuned!
