The Big Moon Debut First New Single in Two Years, “It’s Easy Then”

English four-piece The Big Moon have returned with the first follow-up to their 2017 Mercury Prize-nominated debut Love In The 4th Dimension, a rich, triumphant single titled “It’s Easy Then.”

The new release is a soaring, piano-led cut lifted by frontwoman Juliette Jackson’s deep, accented voice and a chorus full of synth, a buzzing bass and layers upon layers of musings about approaching burnout: “I’m so bored of being capable / I need somewhere to be vulnerable.” There is a striking lack of guitars in the song (or, at least, at the forefront of its melody), a departure from the band’s typically guitar-driven sound palette.

”’It’s Easy Then’ is really about finding strength in strange times,” Jackson said in a statement. “We work too much, we think too much, we know too much so we all worry too much. Our anxieties are stoked every day.”

The band will embark on a U.K. tour in support of The Pixies in September, and you can check out a list of their upcoming dates further down.
