“Radio” by Moon Veil – A Song Feature

 

      "Radio" starts with a slow-tempo intro, and the first three notes distinctly capture the Soft Rock essence reminiscent of Seals and Crofts' "Summer Breeze." But that essence is soon discarded by the emergence of a drum burst and a shout of “Hey!” The single by Moon Veil is more aligned with Classic Guitar Rock, although with soaring power vocals that rival those of contemporary bands such as Nothing But Thieves. It's worth noting that Moon Veil self-identifies their genre as "Pop/Psychedelic Rock."
 
     A more muffled shout of “Hey!” resounds at the 2:39 mark, just before Moon Veil's guitar skills seize the spotlight. “Radio” is a hook-laden single with a diversity that maintains its freshness from start to the final moments of sustained guitar anguish. Still, it is the guitar solo following the second “Hey” that stands out as the instrumental highlight. Perhaps fittingly, the most vocally isolated and demanding section of the song coincides with the conclusion of the guitar solo. Moon Veil is a force from both the instrumental and vocal perspectives.
 
      The band explains that “Radio" is a song “about being out on the open road, leaving home, and finding the adventure that awaits—going so far that the only way for your past to hear you is on the radio! It marries a driving rhythm and bass with atmospheric guitars, a rippin’ guitar solo, all tied together with smokey but smooth vocals.” Moon Veil is based in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The social media of the band submit that they are “5 dudes making trippy music in the attic of an old house and in venues.” The members are Korben Mitchell (vocals), Julian Dillon (guitar), Jon Murphy (bass), James Phillips (guitar, synth), and Skye Lewis (drums).

Quoting content regarding of Moon Veil:
     Moon Veil is a young and promising Psychedelic Pop Rock band from Colorado that began their journey in January of 2022. Despite their short time together, the band has already started to make a name for themselves in the music scene with their unique sound, blending vintage guitar riffs and synthesizers with a grooving rhythm section, catchy pop melodies, and mind-bending yet relatable lyrics. Formed by friends and music veterans Korben Mitchell (lead vocals), Skye Lewis (drums), Julian Dillon (guitar), Jon Murphy (bass), and later adding James Phillips (lead guitar and synth), Moon Veil was born out of a shared love for the music of the 60s and 70s, as well as a desire to create something fresh and original.
     Their upcoming debut album promises to be a mesmerizing and dreamy journey through space and time, and they just released their first single “Radio” in September, 2023. With their talent and dedication, Moon Veil is poised to become a rising star in the world of Psychedelic Rock, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what they will come up with next.
