MOLTENO explores dream travel with 'Moonlight'
UK Alt-Pop artist MOLTENO returns with her new single ‘Moonlight’. Writing in her bedroom studio before taking her ideas to be built up with collaborators, the east London based artist blends real with surreal to create her own unique, ethereal soundscapes. An accomplished vocalist, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, MOLTENO has been praised as the "love child of Björk and Bat For Lashes", acquiring support across national radio, tastemaker press and editorial playlists on Spotify and Apple Music.
Capturing an essence of the otherworldly, MOLTENO’s music is an immersive sonic and visual journey through the universe and beyond. The new single ‘Moonlight’ is no exception, capturing a breathtaking dreamy haze right from the off. A wash of airy synths, subtle guitar lines and the silky, delicate and hauntingly beautiful vocals float over a driving bass and drum line to create a transportive soundscape which packs both melancholic emotion and an exciting, fresh energy.
Speaking about the single, MOLTENO shares: "After experiencing lucid dreaming, with 'Moonlight' I wanted to explore the idea of travelling and connecting through dreams. What if we truly wake up in our dreams and travel by moonlight? It's the first single from 'Element 2' – the second of four EPs that aim to celebrate the elements and the way nature connects us."
The new single is also set to be accompanied by a Daisy Moseley directed music video featuring notable actor William Moseley (Narnia, The Royals).
