Nashville-based Shimmer Pop band Moody Joody have announced their debut EP Dream Girl, due out November 8th, 2024 via Photo Finish Records. Alongside the announcement, the trio have shared “Cuts Deep” and its matching visualizer.
The band will celebrate the new music at their official EP release show on November 8, at Nashville’s Row 1. Beginning this week, Moody Joody will join Alt Pop/Rock group MisterWives on the MisterWives: Just For One Night! tour on select dates.
The forthcoming debut project from Moody Joody “embodies the duality of being human–from dance floor anthems to tracks that embrace the less glamorous side of life and being a musician.”
Singers Kayla Hall (lead vocals, guitar) and Kaitie Forbes (lead vocals, guitar) share:
‘Dream Girl’, our first body of work, is a story of romance, existential crisis’, loss & rebirth. The duality of the high-energy optimistic dream pop versus the darker, honest and vulnerable edge is our way of owning our humanness, and stepping down from the pedestal that we’ve been placed on in our lives.
Some of the ideas on the album include “romance, mental health, chasing the dream, unrequited love, longing, self-acceptance, depression and being in one’s power.”
Hall adds that the EP…
…was born from a place of capturing the duality of life and our experiences and raw emotions as women in the world translated into an edgy, dreamy indie pop EP. We wanted to capture everything that we are and feel, which at times is sexy, ethereal, lighthearted, powerful and at other times is dark, deep, depressed and raw; creating a safe space for ourselves to experience and embrace the highs and lows of womanhood through this project.
