DEBUT EP REVIEW: disparity by la lune

la lune’s dedication and passion is evident in every note and lyric of their debut EP, disparity. Over the span of five tracks, this shoegaze indie collective from Vancouver takes one on a journey through ethereal soundscapes and introspective lyricism.

Kicking off the EP, “a little life” is a melancholic anthem that deftly balances despair with hope. Despite the sombre atmosphere, there’s an underlying optimism that gently shines through, revealing the band’s ability to navigate the complexities of human emotion with grace.

It flows seamlessly into “despondent” which dives into the darker corners of the mind and explores the emotions that arise when one feels left behind in life’s race. With reverberating drums and lush vocals layered over fuzzed-out guitars, the track captures the existential crisis of grappling with inadequacy and uncertainty.

The title track’s bellowing bass lines intertwine with dreamlike guitar melodies, creating a symphony of emotion that resonates deeply with the soul. “disparity” is a masterclass in crafting an emotional connection, both musically and lyrically.

la lune showcases their prowess in creating immersive landscapes that invite one to lose themselves in introspection. Each track is a carefully crafted tapestry of sound, with every instrument and lyric serving a purpose in painting a vivid picture of emotion.

Guided by the tender whispers of la lune‘s music, disparity is a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s beauty to be found in the music that speaks to our souls.
