▌░ ░▐
▌░ When Brian Macdonald and his wife moved to Sweden in 2020, ░▐
▌░ the last thing on his mind was recording an album, much less ░▐
▌░ assuming a new persona as Victor Mucho. However, plans change ░▐
▌░ and taking a long-planned break from Judah and the Lion, he ░▐
▌░ suddenly found himself writing songs from a new perspective, ░▐
▌░ eventually creating a new album, Moonlight in Visby. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ In this tiny, rural Swedish town, on an island in the Baltic ░▐
▌░ Sea, amidst medieval defence walls and Viking ruins, he began ░▐
▌░ to discover who he was and created a soundtrack to the ░▐
▌░ stillness and isolation that enveloped him. Armed with his ░▐
▌░ mandolin and a guitar bought from a woman on the island, he ░▐
▌░ found a respite from his usual identity and began to create ░▐
▌░ songs that more directly dealt with who he was and what he ░▐
▌░ was becoming. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Sitting in his bedroom at 221 degrees SW, he could look out ░▐
▌░ on a landscape parallel to the one he inhabited in Nashville. ░▐
▌░ What he saw and who he was becoming while his wife was in ░▐
▌░ school led him to reflect on this new life, leading to the ░▐
▌░ emergence of this new personality. With the help of Swedish ░▐
▌░ producer Tobias Fr÷berg, Moonlight in Visby became a ░▐
▌░ recording of the experiences of a man a world apart from his ░▐
▌░ home, coming to grips with living in a foreign landscape and ░▐
▌░ experiencing life with a newfound sense of freedom. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Amidst the gentle waves of guitar and mandolin on "So ░▐
▌░ terribly hurt2, Fr÷berg adds a mix of other instruments as ░▐
▌░ Macdonald sings, 'I know our forever/Is stronger than any of ░▐
▌░ my words'. In contrast, Molly Parden adds a notion that ░▐
▌░ implies a weathering of their relationship, 'But I canÆt ░▐
▌░ forget the past/ And all the questions that you never asked'. ░▐
▌░ While storm clouds may be rolling in, there is also a sense ░▐
▌░ of hope for the relationship. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Written and recorded during a dark Swedish winter, Macdonald ░▐
▌░ reflects on the song, stating it ' embodies the cold, lonely ░▐
▌░ side of love. The person you love most is also the person you ░▐
▌░ are capable of hurting the most'. With Fr÷berg providing the ░▐
▌░ keyboards to "Many Moons", Macdonald encapsulates his view of ░▐
▌░ the song. It is the heartbeat of the album. In my point of ░▐
▌░ view, the moon is a symbol of love. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ When you look up at a crescent moon, only a sliver is ░▐
▌░ visible, but in reality, the entire thing is still floating ░▐
▌░ there. ThatÆs kind of how I view love: even though the light ░▐
▌░ ebbs and flows, and it can be hard to see the whole thing, ░▐
▌░ the love remains constant and always becomes full again'. ░▐
▌░ Additionally, we get insights into his life abroad in songs ░▐
▌░ like "Coffee in Bed" and "The List" that show a deepening of ░▐
▌░ his love for his wife and examine new ways of living. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Taken altogether, Moonlight in Visby gets to the core of ░▐
▌░ Brian Macdonald and his alter-ego, Victor Mucho. What emerges ░▐
▌░ is a picture of a man who has become more comfortable with ░▐
▌░ who he is and what he is becoming. Who could ask for anything ░▐
▌░ more? ░▐
