ONE HUNDRED MOONS – “4TH OF JULY”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Toronto-based Shoegaze/Dream Pop ensemble One Hundred Moons sets the stage ablaze once again with the release of the music video for their latest single, a captivating rendition of Soundgarden’s classic anthem “4th of July.” This mesmerizing cover is a standout addition to their highly anticipated EP, Take Two which promises a nostalgic yet refreshingly contemporary spin on ’90s favorites, including another soon-to-be-unveiled gem.
In the latest visual offering from Toronto’s shoegaze connoisseurs, One Hundred Moons, the band elevates their haunting rendition of Soundgarden’s “4th of July” to an electrifying new dimension. Their music video, a kaleidoscopic journey through the essence of ’90s nostalgia, is a revved-up, psyched-out standout that defies conventional categorization, mirroring the audacious spirit of its audio counterpart. It’s an homage that pays its respects to the era of late-night television interference and the golden age of MTV, blending frenzied fever dreams of screen wipes and transitions with a modern twist.
Where the original Soundgarden track wielded the gritty, sludge-laden tones akin to Crowbar and Melvins, One Hundred Moons takes a daring leap, weaving synths so sinister they border on the satirical. That is until Jen Vella’s dulcet vocals enter the fray, steering the track from its grunge roots into a mesmerizing hybrid that channels the spirit of Portishead and Beach House. It’s in this audacious pivot that the true genius of One Hundred Moons shines brightest, marking their “4th of July” as a transformative journey from bygone rock to a shoegaze dream pop soundscape β one that’s entirely their own.
