New Luna have made a stunning proposition for playing rough against the smooth. Their newest single 'Prunus' has a grinding grunge foundation with a delicate overlay of sweet vocals and blooming electronics.

Crunching into gear with one guitar, and lightening things with another, New Luna catapult into their epic new five-minute single - a blend of genres from dream pop to grunge via indie.

Moody and introspective, 'Prunus' is just the kind of thing we want to hear from a band who count The Twilight Sad among their influences. Hear it:

On the release, frontman Tommy Deedigan said: “I think sometimes people find it difficult to hear men being openly vulnerable, like it’s almost the opposite of what’s expected of them in lad culture...In some ways I just wanted to be openly vulnerable and make those peoplefeel uncomfortable to challenge that stigma."

New Luna have supported Sløtface, Happyness and Kagoule on tour. Watch out for more from these Mancunians.
