Moontype are a Chicago based band comprised of Ben Cruz (guitar, vocals), Margaret McCarthy (bass, vocals) and Emerson Hunton (drums). We introduced them with the track “Ferry“. Now they have announced the release of the first full-length called Bodies Of Water which will be out on April 2nd via Born Yesterday Records. “About You” is the new excerpt.
“When I wrote ‘About You’ I was sitting in my apartment missing my friend who had gone abroad for the semester and thinking about all the moments that made our friendship so special,” explains singer/bassist Margaret McCarthy. “The glue between us started to form while on tour, walking through Richmond VA for hours one night past confederate monuments and art on building walls. The friendship began as a crush but it slowly melted into something more lasting – we made a synth together, we wrote songs together – and I really just wanted to be around them most of the time! There was this feeling of being two magnets, pulling towards each other, but the pull doesn’t stay that strong forever and I wanted to remember what it felt like at the start. I’m grateful I wrote it down in that way because now me and my friend fall in and out of touch but every time we play that song I remember how special they are and how important they are to me.”
