Luna Honey Finds Inspiration In Creative Tension For ‘Bound’

Philadelphia-based group Luna Honey will be releasing their sixth album in seven years, Bound, on November 22nd, 2024, on cassette, CD, digital download, and through streaming services. It was recorded in Philadelphia at Dan Angel’s In The Shadow of Boner Forever studio space, as well as at band members’ home studios.

All the songs on Bound are quite different from one another, “a result of following the creative sparks wherever they may lead.”

Hailing from DC’s DIY scene in 2017, the band has played with artists such as Norman Westberg (Swans), Eric Hubel, Exploded View, Molly Nilsson, Abdu Ali, Martin Bisi, Buck Gooter, and hackedepicciotto (members of Einstuerzende Neubauten).

In 2022, more remote band members moved to Philadelphia, reuniting the band within the same city. Re-energized after living through the difficulties during COVID and the past several years, they began recording a new crop of songs that would make up the majority of Bound, with the goal of capturing the raw energy of their live shows.

Luna Honey’s art “emerges from the creative tension between the death of the ego and the exploration of the subconscious with the pragmatism and discipline of punching the clock and getting the work done.”
