Burn 04:41
BURN Small boats. Big lies. Agendas in disguise. Red mist. Small minds. The dirt gets in your eyes. Redtop headlines Grow fear of other kinds. Red hands Won minds Take back the borderlines. No lies. No whys. Just things to learn by heart. Shared views. Short fuse. They’ll tear the world apart. And they all go together Under a spell. All go together Go straight to hell. Dead bees Charred trees And fifty-five degrees. Made-up disease. No trust in expertise. Not woke. Not broke. The ones they couldn’t gag. Cocksure Dirt poor Waving a tattered flag. And they all go together Lost in their spell But we’ll all fall together Fall straight to hell. Misled. Hope dead. The dirt gets in your heart. Control your soul. They’ll tear your world apart. They can all go together All go to hell. All go together Go straight to hell.

Halo 04:01
HALO: Red stars in your eyes. Black clouds on your eyes. Another day and you’re cracking your head on the wall. Dark thoughts in your eyes. Another try and you miss again. They’re never going to tell you the rules after all. Another’s going to end it. Another’s going to end you. Forever/it’s never coming tomorrow. Forever last to know. How many/a thousand wounds bled hollow; How many/a thousand things let go. Black stars in your eyes. What in the hell came over you? You threw your halo into a drawer… Red stars in your eyes. Black clouds in your eyes. Dark thoughts in your eyes. Black stars in your eyes.

Shine 03:19
SHINE: This ship of fools is going down. A billion stars are rising in the sky. The darker the night, the brighter we will shine. Rip it up, rip it up, let’s start again. Write a hope for tomorrow. Light it up, light it up, good citizen. See who they’re working for. What’s going to be your final straw? It’s obvious now… The ninety-nine are under attack; The one destroy our lives. The killers never had your back, Except to stick their knives in. Rip it up, rip it up, begin again. Can you feel it changing? Enough is enough, good citizen. ‘Too far’ was miles ago. Please say it’s obvious now…

Heartshot 04:48
HEARTSHOT: Running for your life through a gallery of mirrors. No way back, my heartshot prey. Falling to your knees, you’re giving me the shivers. Never was a carnivore before today. When I loose my bow And you know you’re the one to lose control. My ever love, give up your soul. Cold, dark night. Ring around the moon bringing in the storm. Cleaving from below and up to the apple, Climb inside your skin and keep me warm. When you died, and I cried Silver whispers of desire, Heart in my mouth and breathing fire. Wake from your dream. No more goodbyes. Take from my breath a thousand sighs. Look at my soul, there in your eyes. Your eyes on me, forever true. Remember me. Remember you.

September 03:55
SEPTEMBER: September. Farewell the summer rose. A whisper on the air: We all fall down. Remember Your changing face. A haven from the end. The leaves turn brown.

Falling Star 04:17
FALLING STAR: We’re sitting on our hands again. We’re climbing up the walls. They’re breaking down the door again and running down the halls. And every time somebody says She does it for attention, The others say it’s just her way of cutting through the tension. They had to take her in again. We followed in the car. A dozen faded daffodils wilting in a jar. A thousand times we’ve said it: something isn’t right. Now we’re sitting in the embers of another Friday night. I don’t know what I can do. There’s nothing I can say. I never knew what was really true. I still don't to this day. Sometimes she’s in yellow, sometimes she’s in black. This time she really means it and she’s never coming back. We’re sweeping up the broken glass, we’re praying for a cure. We wonder if she’s faking but we’ll never know for sure. Always a joy to see you. Always I wonder what you are. Making a wish upon your falling star. Wolleynisehssemitemossometimesshesinblack Kcabgnimocrevensehsdnatisnaemyllaerehsemitsiht Revenrevenreven.

Silvania 04:05
SILVANIA: Rage will rip you open, Moon ignite your skin. Her mind is in the forest, The changes crashing in. She’s a black-hearted screamer, A fever dreamer, But don’t forget why we all go a little mad sometimes. Silvania. Leaves, they dance like memories. Black branches vein the sky. Silvania. But don’t forget why we all go a little mad sometimes.

Yeraz 05:49
YERAZ: I hear the sound of my heart beating And I will it to go on. Contemplating at a distance Taking off my carbon avatar… I am a firefly kept in a jar To take into the darker places. One day, far away…

about

After the success of our debut EP, Fuse, released in late 2022, we are bringing out our first album. Called Glimmer, it consists of nine tracks released over the last two years.

Since our last collaboration many years ago, the music scene has changed and developed in so many exciting and unforeseeable ways, and this is reflected in the eclectic blend of styles that characterises the music of Lunar Paths.

Our roots, deep in the '80s postpunk scene, undoubtedly play a part in determining our sound, but then so do the many seismic changes in the musical landscape that have taken place since the two of us last made music together. Each new track that we create as Lunar Paths astounds and surprises us, because each one is different from its predecessors – and yet, we do undeniably have a sound that is recognisably ‘us’.

Here's what the critics have said about our music:


"Haunting, rousing, and instinctual... bewitching… a powerful composition of crackling primal atmospheric energy... builds tension and releases pain into a dark, merciless void." White Light White Heat, 23/01/24

“A psychedelic and darkwavish slo-mo trip with a trancy effect... glowing, shadowy The Cure-like guitar radiance... hallucinatory... an eerie experience." Turn Up the Volume, 19/02/24

"The transatlantic duo have made the Bela Lugosi’s Dead of this era...It’s not the darkwave you’ve ridden the crux of before; it’s the ethereal avant garde sanctity we sorely need." A&R Factory, 24/7/22

“Lush, charismatic and experimental... reminds me a lot of Siouxsie and The Banshees, around the time of A Kiss in The Dreamhouse.” Onyx Music Reviews, 16/12/22

"...the experimental quality often leaves me feeling that this is what The Creatures could have sounded like if they had pursued that creative well..." Onyx Music Reviews, 05/02/24
