Montreal-based alternative act Half Moon Run are thrilled to release an alternate version of the song “9beat” captured live at the Treehouse Studio.
Pulsating with a rhythmic edge, the electrifying live rendition, featuring a string quartet and dynamic percussion, is a thrilling journey through alternative music. This eclectic and wild interpretation takes their rootsy sound to new heights, seamlessly fusing the raw energy of indie rock with intricate orchestration.
In late August following the release of their acclaimed new album, Salt (BMG), the Juno Award winning trio returned to the Treehouse Studio, an idyllic escape an hour north of Montreal, along with studio owner and producer Connor Seidel. In addition to tracking “adore you”, Devon Portielje (lead vocals, guitar), Conner Molander (backing vocals, guitar, keys), and Dylan Phillips (backing vocals, drums,piano) also took time to revisit songs from Salt and record live versions along with the help of a string quartet and other guest musicians.
Well known for their captivating live shows, the trio continues their tour of North America with upcoming stops in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, Canada.
“We are coming across North America on the back of a European run that took us somewhat by surprise,” addsMolander. “On that run, we regularly found ourselves descending from the stage making remarks about how that show was “one of the best ever”, or something to that effect. There’s been a peculiar feeling of serendipity at the shows lately, which often culminates in a kind of feedback loop of positivity. You can’t exactly plan these things. It is fully our intention to keep this ball rolling across North America, where we have the privilege of performing in some truly wonderful venues.”
