Moon King - Secret Life (CD) - CD

Details: Toronto duo Moon King, made up of songwriter Daniel Benjamin and singer/guitarist Maddy Wilde, have crafted a raw, rapturous and emotional new record, which documents their ascent from an intimate conceptual project into a powerful live band. Following a year of touring in support of their 'Obsession I' & 'II' EPs, in 2013 Daniel & Maddy relocated to a cottage in northern Ontario to record the album with a group of Toronto music scene luminaries, all of whom had played in various incarnations of the live band. Mostly recorded live off the floor, there is a deep sense of loss, and longing in Secret Life. Moon King channel desperation and project it outwards, each song carrying with it both a weight and a sense of urgency.
