New album from Luna Waves

Bedford-based artist and multi-instrumentalist Rob Muir makes his own brand of ethereal music under the Luna Waves alias. Pairing elements of psychedelic rock and dream pop, as Luna Waves he crafts an atmospheric sound that envelops the listener in beautifully immersive sonic worlds.

Growing up in the 90s, he was raised on artists such as Pear Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden and The Smashing Pumpkins as well as being exposed to the greats that came before including The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix by his father who was also a musician.

Mixing the influences from his formative years with modern dashes from the likes of Tame Impala, Kurt Vile, Daniel Johns, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Radiohead, Slowdive, Beach House, Gemma Hayes and Jeff Buckley among others, he creates a retro-current style that captures a timeless essence.

In 2018 he unveiled the project with his debut single “Mystery Loves Co.” before dropping his first full-length release with the album titled Seafoam Dream Pt. 1. Sharing his sophomore record Blood Moon earlier this year, he now brings us his latest work with his brand new LP Bruised Gold.

Flowing through styles of psych and space rock, with touches of shoegaze, folk and synth pop, his new album offers his most cohesive sound to date. The result of a challenge he set himself to release two full-length records within a year, Bruised Gold is testament to his creativity and musicianship and confirms his prolific sonic output.

Featuring twelve new songs that reflect the bitter-sweet nature of the ups and downs in life, across the record Luna Waves shares his intimate and personal writing at its very best. Mixed and mastered by frequent collaborator Chris Corney, who’s previously worked with the likes of The Ravines, The Quireboys and Luke Tuchscherer, at his Shropshire studio, Bruised Gold marks Luna Waves magnum opus on an enthralling album from start to finish.
