Lunar Lagoon steps back into view with “Miles,” a track that feels like drifting through half-light—never fully dark, never completely bright. From the opening moments, the song leans into atmosphere, letting mood do the heavy lifting. There’s a sense of descent and distance running through it, as if the listener is being gently pulled inward, swallowed by sound and feeling rather than pushed toward a big, obvious payoff.
Based in Naarm/Melbourne, Lunar Lagoon began as the solo vision of Joe Nurrish and has since evolved into a collaborative project with Luke Morton at its core. That shared energy shows in “Miles,” which balances sharp electronic edges with a rich, layered warmth. Influences from Mount Kimbie, King Krule, The Streets, and The Style Council subtly surface, not as imitation, but as texture—angular beats, thoughtful pacing, and a reflective tone that sits comfortably in the in-between.
“Miles” also lives in contrast. It explores emotional distance, memory, and the unknown, capturing that strange space where heaviness and clarity exist at the same time. The production, handled entirely in-house, gives the track an intimate feel, like you’re inside the room where it was made. It’s understated but deliberate, inviting repeat listens rather than demanding attention all at once.
As the first taste of several upcoming releases and a self-titled EP expected in early 2026, “Miles” positions Lunar Lagoon as a band comfortable with subtlety, mood, and emotional depth. It’s a quiet return, but one that lingers long after the track fades.
‘Miles’ is a beautifully moody reintroduction, and Lunar Lagoon is turning distance, nostalgia, and shadow into something quietly magnetic
