Half Moon Run originally hails from the small Vancouver Island ocean community of Comox, British Columbia, but it wasn’t until its members relocated to Montreal that they really made a name for themselves. In the spring of 2012, the band caught almost everyone by surprise with an excellent debut album that achieved gold status in Canada. Three and a half years later, Half Moon Run has returned, more mature and in control, for its second album, Sun Leads Me On. “I Can’t Figure Out What’s Going On” is a standout; I love a song with a slow build, and this one definitely qualifies. It’s like putting a kettle on the stove: The song is calm at first until it starts simmering, hits a rolling boil and finally blasts forward in a heated finish. If you like Spoon, The Band or Sufjan Stevens, chances are you’ll love Half Moon Run
