| September 24, 2025 (Toronto, ON) // Toronto’s ONE HUNDRED MOONS has released their most recent single “Ear to Ear”, serving as the latest glimpse into their forthcoming album, Black Avalanche. It’s a song that drifts along like a whisper in a dark, dimly lit corridor. Vocals thread through layers of murky guitars, and minor chords twist in both unsettling and undeniably attractive ways. Listening to it is akin to being guided through a haunted labyrinth without knowing the way out, discovering something surprising at each new turn. In a densely layered soundscape, flourishes of dissonance contribute to bringing a sharp melodic edge that in turn makes it impossible to resist the pull. ONE HUNDRED MOONS specialize in making atmospheres that are so palpable they seem to have a certain weight. By the time it’s done, the song has left tiny pieces of itself behind in your brainstem, a spectral resonance that makes you want to go back again and again for another listen. |
