Monroe Moon, hypnotising duo from Michigan, has been garnering attention for their unique blend of soulful electronica, folk lyricism, and pop sensibility. The project, comprising Bunny Monroe and Theo Malkin, has been very productive this year, collecting six singles to date. In fact, everything points to a longer and bigger release in 2023. ‘Just a Little Bit Longer’ is the pair’s latest release, another step towards a bigger picture. In it, you’ll find the group’s signature style, floating around soundscapes, scattered beats, and mellow guitar lines.
Describing the track as “sexy melancholic drowning” Monroe Moon reveal a great deal behind their artistic intent. Their music is essentially an emotional refuge for the listeners. It is a safe place where we can all turn to, in times of need. Wrapping their audience with a mixture of warm and icy sound matter, the American talents provide music for the soul. Of course, it might not be for everyone; after all, being so introspective and intimate, one has to meet the duo’s creations at the right time. Or, they might find you, if you are lucky.
‘Just a Little Bit Longer’ is the perfect example of that. Navigating trip-hop flavouring and slow-pop lyricism, the record is gloomy and nostalgic, more than other tracks released this year. Bunny Monroe’s evocative and soulful vocals are a perfect match for the light and steady instrumental, perfectly conveying the lyrical theme the song seeks to share. Loss, grief and reckoning. Sounds familiar?
