'The crooked, looping melody that works as the engine of this song was something I stumbled across one day when I was trying to take a break from synths and electronic sounds,”explains Lora-Faye.

Arthur Moon - the Brooklyn avant-pop group fronted by Lora-Faye Åshuvud alongside collaborators Cale Hawkins (Quincy Jones, Bilal, Linda Perry), Martin D. Fowler (a composer for This American Life), Dave Palazola and Aviva Jaye - released their exceptional self-titled debut album earlier this year. Today, they've released a remix of the stand out track “Infield” by bicoastal musician and producer Young & Sick. The rich, wandering remix heightens the off-kilter pop already present in the track.

In the last two years, Arthur Moon has become one of the most exciting avant-pop projects to come out of Brooklyn - from the release of an EP and standalone singles praised by the likes of Noisey, Stereogum and Paper to energetic and emotive shows at Elsewhere, Rough Trade, and C'mon Everybody, Arthur Moon has set out to turn pop on its head. Now, Arthur Moon (real name Lora-Faye Åshuvud) will release a debut self-titled full-length. Containing last year's dynamic singles “Standing Wave” and “Wait a Minute,” Arthur Moon adds depth and levity to the layers of experimental, deconstructed pop music that have become the band's signature. The album will be released physically this June via Vinyl Me Please, and on all DSPs this August.
