Belgian shoegaze band Newmoon have shared their new single “Crazing” and its accompanying video.
The song is another taste of their upcoming album “Temporary Light,” recorded and mixed by Thomas Valkiers and mastered by Simon Scott (Slowdive), due to be released on March 22 via PIAS Recordings (EU) and Quiet Panic (US). Pre-order your copy here.
“Temporary Light” weaves a sonic tapestry that harks back to the band’s roots, yet retains a fresh approach that keeps their music alluring. Blending airy vocals with lush guitars, Newmoon creates an immersive sound that sweeps listeners off their feet into a striking world that feels distant yet familiar at the same time.
On the track, singer and guitarist Bert Cannaerts says: “’Crazing’ is one of the noisier songs on this album. We’re always looking for that one melody that hides within a song. With ‘Crazing’ we wanted to try our hand at a song that incorporates loads of guitar textures but still feels melodic and airy. On one hand it has these dark and droning fuzzed out guitars but on the other hand it sounds fresh and uplifting. The song exists on the edge of dark and gloomy with a hint of brightness and optimism. The exact spot where we like our music to sit.”

Newmoon “Crazing” Lyrics:
Comforting
My own shadows
Remain insane
Come to blame
Pretty faces
Remain crazing
Splitting time
I feel you move along
Spinning mind
Come back to me in song
Hear the name
Full of pleasure
Lifelong my bond
Endless pressure
For the lesser
Lifelong push on
