Iris Lune

Iris: The Greek messenger goddess, from sea to sky she links the gods to humankind. Lune: Symbolizing the moon, the solitary source of light in the dark space. Iris Lune initially began as the project of singer-songwriter Ella Joy Meir when she met guitarist and composer Asher Kurtz in Boston. As their exploration and experimentation of sounds transformed into serious songwriting, they recruited Aaron Liao and Angelo Spampinato to complete their roster, and relocated to Brooklyn. As influenced by Bjork as they are Salvador Dali, Iris Lune’s music is pop without boundaries. A foray into the cross-pollination of electronic and acoustic, the band builds off of Meir’s roots in Middle Eastern and Israeli folk music to craft a sound that stretches into the surreal, drawing comparisons to acts such as Hundred Waters. “Triplets,” the first single from the band’s self-titled debut EP, delicately builds its magnetizing layers, centered around the divergent cadence of Meir’s vocals that leaves the listener hanging onto every syllable. Their EP due out in late summer, Iris Lune immerses listeners into a world both elegant and mysterious. http://www.irislune.com/ https://www.facebook.com/IrisLuneMusic https://twitter.com/iris_lune Read more on Last.fm.
