Garage-rocker Francie Moon has released a new single from her self titled EP that is due to be released on 23rd September. The three-track Francie Moon EP features Walked Away and you can listen to that track below!
Each of the three tracks on the EP were recorded live on a tape machine before Moon moved for a spell down to Georgia, which lends the overall sound a feel you might hear on a Third Man Records release. Before she returned to the NJ area in early 2016, engineers Richie Semartin and Jon Irizarry worked up the tracks with Moon deciding to record more guitar and solos, backing vocals and little extra bits and pieces. The EP, which teases a larger collection of songs to be released next year, features Semartin (drums) and Adam Pumilia (bass).
Moon’s gritty, garage-blues sound is a direct reflection of her life. In her own words, ‘I set up my life around music to make it work, no matter what.
‘I handpainted 500 covers of my vinyl EP and made and cut every cover.
‘I made hundreds of shirts and sold them on tour and I sold at least a couple thousand CD’s by hand to each person who bought one and gave away hundreds more.
‘I sold my handmade earrings on my merch table.
‘I sold a DVD player one time on my merch table.
‘I bought a van a week before a tour so we’d have something to drive.
‘I’ve come home with $500 and I’ve come home with $50.
‘I’ve walked 2 miles to a show with all my equipment from a train station in San Diego and another time in Boston, ride shared a 15-hour overnight drive from Hollywood to Denver, CO and crossed the desert 5 times in a month just to make it to some shows.’
As always, Moon will be picking up plenty of shows as she continues her travels. Be on the lookout for more, including several single drops, in advance of the release of Francie Moon’s self-titled EP on September 23rd, 2016.
