4.5/5
Cara Politker, the woman behind moondaddy, has a talent for creating a dreamy atmosphere through music, and she proves it on the California-based dream-pop quintet’s new EP Lightwave Lightwave.
Lightwave Lightwave, which follows up their 2023 debut, Poet Lies, is a mesmerizing release, perfectly capturing dream-pop with its moody sound. The album’s focus track “Light Wave” is an emotional and soft ballad. Politker’s vocals are beautiful, working in flawless harmony with the instruments.
The rest of the album has a more upbeat tone. With the use of specific sounds such as ripple noises, they’ve created an experience rather than just an album.
If you like Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, or Beach House, moondaddy is a fantastic new artist to check out.
