Moon King is the recording project of Toronto natives Daniel Woodhead (brother to Doldrums’ Airick) and Maddie Wilde, longtime friends and musical collaborators. After two EPs of punchy, hard-hitting dream-rock, the duo are getting ready to release their debut full-length, “Secret Life”, this spring. And first single “Roswell” is an excellent introduction, a sprawling, soaring six-minute epic that follows a propulsive motorik groove straight into the sky and sounds absolutely immense while doing it

If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing Toronto band Moon King live recently when they supported Alvvays, you may have heard them open with the blistering new track ‘Apocalypse’, which you can stream below. It’s close to five minutes of fuzzy post-rock goodness complete with tons and tons of reverb before reaching its intense climax towards the end of the song.
Their album Secret Life is out on 14 April via Last Gang Recordings. after a run of tour dates supporting Alvvays, the band should be back in the UK later this year.
