Like a fallen comet F. Lunaire's Mondestrunken EP plummets to earth. Peek within the smouldering crater, and you will find 5 beautifully crafted songs, composed by Florian a talent way beyond his years. Having cut his teeth playing piano for Kid Harpoon, F. Lunaire steps forward into the limelight with an upcoming album and live shows that will have you kicking yourself if you miss out. As EP's go, the Mondestrunken EP punches well beyond its weight, with a sensibility that deftly shifts between ballad and pop song, up-tempo and serine. Songs like Quantum Physics in the Sink and Tarantella (For Your Tarantism) will have you dancing, but with heavy eyes, swollen from tears of joy, sorrow, maybe both.
Believe me, we are in sophisticated singer-songwriter terrain here. His lyrics are laced with acute observations that are familiar and fresh, to me anyway. Incedently, they can all be read on his myspace. A limited run of 1000 ep's are available through rough trade, alternately the ep can be purchased on itunes. I highly reccomend, I'll leave you with 2 live tracks.
