Today the Montreal-based band Half Moon Run dropped the music video for Alco.
The second single is taken from their upcoming album Salt which comes out on June 2, 2023 via BMG.
This has a Mumford & Sons alterna-pop vibe song.
About the track from Half Moon Run:
“Alco” serves up classic and timely Half Moon Run since it combines an unearthed 2012 ukulele riff, with additional recordings from 2022.
Magical and mystical vibes waft through the track: brushed drums, finger picked guitar, those quintessential three-part harmonies meeting in the chorus, and then the strings.
It all combines to sound perfectly is Half Moon Run. Band member, Conner Molander explains, “Devon took a ukulele on a trip to Thailand in 2012. When he got back to Montreal, he played the opening riff of ‘Alco’ for us and we loved it!
We started developing the song around that time, but kept running into roadblocks with the arrangement.
It’s such a pleasure now to feel like we finally cracked the code after all these years.
Personally I love the elven textures that decorate this recording – it feels mystical!”
