For a duo who have been together little over a year, Hunger Moon (James Attwood and Natalie Jenkins) have a more than an impressive body of work behind them. From opening for Adam French, Joseph J Jones and Alessi's Ark, to winning acclaim from Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing as well as appearing at Lunar, Y Not and 110 Above Festivals in 2018. With this new release the bands Birmingham fanbase will soon expand across the UK. Hunger Moon's long awaited third single 'Feel It Sometimes' is their debut for Babywoman Records, and it is definitely worth the wait.
With influences ranging from Kate Bush, Radiohead and Portishead, Hunger Moon have created their very own 'dreamscape of alt pop'. The new single, 'Feel It Sometimes' really hones in on their unique mix of genres. The keys and intricate guitar give off a subtle folky tone, while still creating an emotional rock feel similar to Jeff Buckley. The drums and synths being heavily arpeggiated in this track add to the alternative sound the band are known for, to me it sounds like it would sit nicely on RadioHead 'A Moon Shaped Pool'. The blend between the different genre influences coalesce into one unique sound giving this song an eclectic feel while still sounding fresh and modern.
Jenkins rich vocal needs little behind it, her voice holds intense emotion while still being smooth and strong, it's enough to make any vocalist writhe with envy. On top of her gorgeous voice, the lyrics she sings are unflinchingly truthful, the young musicians found their inspiration in 'human nature and adulthood', singing lyrics about 'one-sided emotions, the selfishness you find yourself battling with the end of any form of relationship, sadness, bitterness and all of the painful confusion that comes with it.' Anyone who has experienced any emotions similar to these themes will be hit hard by how perfectly the single encapsulates the feelings you go through.
