Returning with pounding new single ‘K9’, East-London indie punk artist Humane The Moon teams up with close collaborator and fellow East-London creative Jeshi to deliver a track full of dimension and vigor. Alongside the release, Humane The Moon has announced a headline show at Moth Club on the 18th October 2024.

Speaking on the creation of ‘K9’, Max shares; “Jeshi, courage and me had got in and put on some car crash compilations on the tv in the studio. That kind of just translated itself into k9. Jeshi and Joe are pure talents, The song found its anti authoritarian feet naturally.”

‘It’s a tight rope between fuck it and purpose’- the consensus of being alive in London at this age. Doing enough is not doing enough so fuck it, life is a circus let’s have a bit of fun. As Jeshi puts it, ‘it won’t even matter when everything’s over’.

Over the past year, Humane The Moon has established himself as an artist to watch within the UK music scene that resonates with his sound that is built on grit and the alt-grunge influences. The distinctive sonic palette of ‘K9’ has been achieved through the genius marriage of Humane The Moon’s boisterous, alternative flair and Jeshi’s hip-hop prowess, which together creates a sonic explosion of genre-bending greatness.

Jeshi - "Me and Humane always got a great way of bouncing off each other in the studio pushing each other to do the best shit. This was the ultimate  payoff of that… I love the idea of pulling out your own canine tooth before ever listening to what somebody else has to say".

The release follows Humane The Moon’s debut EP ‘Mythomania’ which dropped last November and featured his 4 debut singles ‘A Track In Orbit’, ‘I Saw A Dog’, ‘Ozymandias’ and ‘Dugout’. The EP kicked off his artist project with urgency and dynamism and garnered reputable support across the board.

Humane the Moon has a primary goal that sits at the heart of the sonically charged, often anxious yet viscerally enlivening music that he makes: it has to be “something that makes you screw your face up a bit, run about and let loose,” he chuckles in a throaty East London accent.

Having played in various bands around his native Leytonstone since he was a teenager, the musician slowly realised that it was these moments of connection and abandon that were really fuelling him. “I feel like Humane the Moon came about from playing live with other bands where we’d be doing more mellow stuff, and then there’d be certain songs we’d play faster and I remember that feeling of when everyone’s moving and the energy is palpable,” he recalls. “That’s what I wanted this to be.”

With music on the way produced by Dan Carey ( Black Midi, Tame Impala, Fontaines.DC, Wet Leg) and a busy festival season coming up, the rest of 2024 looks busy for Humane The Moon.
