‘Borderland’ by Moonlogue

Exclusive video premiere of ‘Borderland’, the fourth single by Italian band Moonlogue, from Turin. Their debut album, out this year, is an instrumental concept album, except for some original vocal samples, with an ecological sci-fi plot.

Moonlogue’s music is mainly instrumental but it speaks for itself with a language that blends post-rock, space rock and current environmental issues. ‘Sail Under Nadir’, their debut album, was released on 3 July 2020, preceded by the singles ‘Estéban’, ‘Nuage’ and ‘Rainyard’.

‘Borderland’, about the breakdown of capitalism, is now the new excerpt from the album, presented in a new live session version with its video, to ideally overcome the impossibility of playing live in clubs.

Moonlogue are an Italian band from Turin. The project was born from the need for a sound research beyond all the conventions of the song-form. The name Moonlogue comes from the playful union of two words: “moon”, source of inspiration and energy for human beings, and “monologue”, in connection with that kind of speech expressed in the tracks thanks to a narrating voice that refer to a sci-fi imagery now more realistic than dystopian.

Moonlogue combine electric guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, noises and sequences, experimenting with an electronic approach, and the use of original samples obtained from the interpretation of the band’s lyrics by Oliver Hutchinson, Australian professor of English Literature.

In their first album ‘Sail Under Nadir’, written, produced and mixed in their own laboratory-recording studio, Moonlogue dream a story: the astronaut Estéban receives an interstellar alarm and sets himself in search of the source of the message, collecting more information. Until he will realize that the planet in danger, the one near to the collapse, is the same Earth from which he left.

“Our record tells a journey through extreme scenarios, where exasperation of progress, greed and desire for control have consumed the world in which we live in“.
