"Sleepwalker" is a journey through the law of opposites in Loki Moon's quintessential "electro-sensory alt-R&B" sound.
DENVER, CO (June 6, 2o24) - Loki Moon, an alt-R&B electro-acoustic duo, released their latest single, “Sleepwalker”, providing a captivating preview of their upcoming self-titled album. With thought-provoking lyrics and an enchanting melody, “Sleepwalker” takes listeners on a mesmerizing journey through the Law of Opposites.
In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, “Sleepwalker” offers a much-needed escape. Loki Moon’s unique blend of retro-futurism and dystopian elements creates an immersive sonic experience that delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of apocalypse, relationships, internal struggle, and the crumbling of society. It invites listeners to reflect on their own consciousness and the challenges faced in a rapidly changing world. The track is a testament to the band’s ability to navigate the complexities of the human condition and deliver a message that is both thought-provoking and relatable.
Vocalist of Loki Moon, Ashley Edwards, shares the inspiration for “Sleepwalker”: “The track was born out of a period of self-reflection and a desire to understand the direction society is heading. It explores the metaphysical feeling of shift and change, as well as the overstimulation of the mind in the face of technocracy. “Sleepwalker” urges individuals to hold on to their individuality and reclaim their creativity and sovereignty.” The track is a call to awaken from the default mode of living and embrace the voice within.

As anticipation builds for Loki Moon’s upcoming album, “Sleepwalker” sets the stage for what promises to be a remarkable musical journey. The band's ability to explore profound themes while delivering captivating melodies and etheric soundscapes is a testament to their artistry and creativity.
About Loki Moon:
Loki Moon is the trickster who dances in light and bathes in the dark - a polarity dressed in lullabies. Comprised of Ashley Edwards and Davis Jones, Loki Moon is an alt-R&B electro-acoustic duo who brings forth an ethereal, percussive soundscape that explores that which is mystical and existential. While keeping an air of anonymity, their music is ageless - speaking to the road less-traveled types - the wanderers, the outcasts.
Influenced by world music - a la Ethiopian jazz, music from the Sahara, and Japanese minimalist music - Loki Moon creates an immersive auditory experience that subjects listeners to explore their own subconscious. Born out of their connection over esoterism, and ideological and philosophical chemistry and perspective, the ever-evolving dialogue of their lyrics has been described as “...strange, beautiful, and in its own right, a novel” (-PopMatters).
