Moon Kissed

BIOGRAPHY

NYC’s Moon Kissed is that once-in-a-blue-moon band that creates their own community as they rise in the musical ranks. They are much more than a band; with every show they play they are ushering in a new era of gritty and provocative New York City partying—one where anyone is free to be themselves, gender isn’t real, and the person you’re dancing next to is your best friend but also could be your next makeout partner. With Emily Sgouros on synth, Leah Scarpati on drums, and Khaya Cohen on vocals, Moon Kissed creates an energy, an infectious aura, that, if you are lucky enough to enter it, feels like a secret and an escape, powerful and precious to behold.

Moon Kissed writes about the complexity of our deepest desires: heartbreak and the way it consumes us; the way we change ourselves to satisfy the ones we crave. Their second self-released album, I’d Like To Tell You Something Important, negotiates these themes. The band carefully drowns the listener in a kaleidoscope of raw feeling before rescuing them with pearls of raw wisdom. The album’s message conveys an exciting brand of authenticity that is difficult to find and impossible to fake. Written by: Alexandra Farina
