Lo Moon
Lo Moon (Phil Smithies)

Lo Moon have revealed a beautiful video for their track "Real Love" which precedes the release of their self-titled debut album on 23 February via Columbia Records.

Set to perform a show at Omeara in London, the Los Angeles trio have been attracting praise with their gorgeous brand of synth-pop.

We're premiering the "Real Love" video, below - it was directed by Sophie Muller [Beyonce, Coldplay] who says: “It was a pleasure getting to work with Lo Moon. The song really seized my imagination and we had a lot of fun conjuring this dream world on the ice.”

Check it out below:

Q&A with Lo Moon

What are you listening to at the moment?

Two albums on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. SZAs CTRL is great, we especially love the song "Drew Barrymore". Of course we can’t stop listening to A Deeper Understanding by The War On Drugs.

What are your plans for 2018?

We are so excited to release our self titled debut album on February 23rd! We cant wait to get back on the road. It will be the first time touring with our album out.

What was the first gig you ever played and what’s been the best so far?

The first gig we played as a band was @ The Resident in downtown LA. We had an amazing time touring the UK & Europe last year with London Grammar, we got to play the Hammersmith Apollo which was pretty incredible. We finished 2017 touring part of the states with The War On Drugs, those shows were very special.
