│ What happens when two producers ù bound by a shared history, yet also │
│ significantly parted for fragments of it ù rediscover the musical │
│ language that first brought them together? And then further, seal it │
│ with a 20-track first album as a two-piece? For DriftmoonÆs Juraj │
│ Klicka, and Miikka Leinonen, who in 2023, rejoined, seven years after │
│ his departure, the answerÆs æMoonstruckÆùa record born through (not to │
│ put too fine a point on it!), reunion. │
│ │
│ Featuring a constellation of talented co-producers (Ruben de Ronde, │
│ Richard Durand, Robert Nickson, Hel:Sl°wed to mention a few) and │
│ vocalists like Sue McLaren Sarah Howells and Susie Ledge, æMoonstruckÆ │
│ is DriftmoonÆs most ambitious studio work to date. ôOpusö may not be │
│ too big a word. Divided into four lunar events, each echoing a stage in │
│ the duoÆs timeline, they, alongside their creative allies, have │
│ delivered the most vivid, and indeed, complete Driftmoon LP to date. │
│ │
│ For Juraj and Miikka, æMoonstruckÆ (meaning, quite literally, to be │
│ æaffected by the moonÆ) is part progression, part homecoming: ôa │
│ celebration of everything weÆve lived, learned, lost û but far more │
│ importantly re-foundö, Juraj observes. ôAt its artistic core is the │
│ creative journey weÆve been on over the last decade. It feels like a │
│ reflection of the magic of collaboration, nostalgia, and evolution. │
│ Simply, the album features some of the best music Driftmoon have ever │
│ written, and weÆre proud to present it here.ö │
│ │
│ Structured around four distinct lunar events and phases (New, Full & │
│ Crescent Moon, as well as Eclipse) æMoonstruckÆ doesnÆt just borrow its │
│ language from the night sky; it maps DriftmoonÆs own cycle of distance │
│ and return. New Moon signals the spark of rediscovery, its orbit │
│ defined by the recent club-homing singles æEarth SongÆ and æColour Of │
│ Your EyesÆ. Filled with creative clarity and marking the duoÆs renewed │
│ flow, Full Moon rises, bringing with it new in-studio team-ups with │
│ Hel:Sl°wed, Asteroid, and singer Sarah Howells. Crescent Moon curves │
│ inward, housing the purest distillation of Juraj and MiikkaÆs studio │
│ dialogue, while Eclipse completes the alignment ù an end-to-end │
│ crossing, bringing Sue McLaren, Susie Ledge, Richard Durand, Robert │
│ Nickson, Mirage, and Xijaro & Pitch into its vocal and production │
│ frame. │
│ │
│ A decade on, æMoonstruckÆ brings Driftmoon back, near enough, to its │
│ origin point ù a reunion that bridges past and future, drawn once more │
│ by the gravity of their shared sound. │
