Summer Moon

BIOGRAPHY

The brainchild of The Strokes' bassist, Nikolai Fraiture, Summer Moon is a music collective currently featuring Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction, Camila Grey of Uh Huh Her and Noah Harmon of The Airborne Toxic Event.

Starting out as an "underground supergroup" (NME) in New York, the band's debut single, "With You Tonight" immediately struck a chord with press and fans alike, becoming NME's "Track Of The Week" and featuring as the soundtrack for Alexa Chung's collaboration with AG Jeans.

“Casino Days,” Summer Moon’s follow up EP is a five-song freeze-frame of what the band were up to right before the pandemic hit. Even though the title was chosen prior, Casino Days still resonates with recent events. Prolific video director Liam Lynch  (Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Royal Blood), directed the post-apocalyptic video for lead single STAR_CHILD. 

“In casinos there are no clocks, no windows, while cameras are inconspicuously trained on your every move. Wild aspirations of grotesque success hang heavy in the smoke-filled air. Fortunes change at the drop of the dice. This dizzying, heliocentric zeitgeist describes what we’ve come to accept as modern life now. But there is also wisdom in lunacy. The Shadows, like a musical rest, often hold a felt, yet hidden energy. ‘The Moon is always full, we’re just blinded by the Sun,’” says Fraiture.
