“Homonormo”

Here’s the latest on electro avant-pop from Arthur Moon – Brooklyn group fronted by queer artist Lora-Faye Åshuvud + collaborators Cale Hawkins (Quincy Jones, Bilal, Wyclef Jean) and Martin D. Fowler (a composer for This American Life).

They have released a hypnotic new single entitled “Homonormo” for Pride Month, ahead of their tour with Oh Land & debut self-titled album out in July via Vinyl Me, Please and everywhere August 2.

When asked about the inspiration for this single, Lora-Faye advised it came from,

“Thinking a lot about what it is that we have to gain when we fail at living within some prescribed definition of ‘success’ or ‘normalcy'”

Lora-Faye

This track follows the previous single “I Feel Better,” which gave listeners a taste for Lora-Faye’s deconstructed pop music, celebrating “incorrect music” and the queer impulse: breaking the rules, and finding the power that comes from doing things “wrong” by celebrating it, owning it, making it the center of the music.
