Lo Moon – Satellite
Lo Moon, the critically acclaimed Los Angeles-based 3-piece, have today announced their signing to Easy Does It Records and [PIAS]. The band have also shared the single “Satellite”, their first new track in over two years.
Working alongside producer Alex Farrar (MJ Lenderman, Hotline TNT, Wednesday), “Satellite” represents the biggest Lo Moon sound to date—a grandiose dispatch of high octane energy, crossfading 90s alternative with slick 2000s blog rock.

“Early in the recording process, we decided we wanted the first taste of new music to be available on physical long before it’s out in the world,” shares Lowell. “We pressed ‘Satellite’ on 7-inch vinyl with an early mix by Alan Moulder, then played a handful of underplay shows in London and Manchester in February. Everyone who attended received a copy. Since then, there’s been an outpouring of fans asking how they can hear the song, so we’re finally releasing “Satellite” digitally.”
After a quiet few years for the band, the single arrives on the back of a pair of support slots with The War On Drugs, and ahead of an expansive 2027 that will include worldwide touring.
Lo Moon emerged in 2016 as a fan and critical darling with the magnificently sprawling “Loveless”. It paved the way for their 2018 self-titled full-length, Lo Moon, which NPR hailed as ‘’shimmering, immersive and otherworldly. As intimate as it is anthemic’’. In the years that followed,
