From the moment I first heard the warm and glittering sounds that open this entry, I knew I was in for a treat...

“As a self-taught and self-made artist, she brings her unique style of indie rock, indie folk, and soul to songs both personal and eerily relatable … Moen’s bluesy vocals and biting guitars create an almost one-woman-band juggernaut”

Lilting with flavor yet strong as espresso, Moen’s voice is one of passion and heartache. I was cut to the bone by moments of levity on the heels of affective intensity. ‘A Million Miles Away’ achieves a more mature sound while keeping a taste of youthful woe, worn like a badge of sentimentality. No one feels pain like the young. And no one creates a feeling within their music like Moen.
