Butterknife
Moon Panda
WE SAY
We’ve been thoroughly captivated by the hazy, blissed-out charm of 'Butterknife', the latest single from California-via-Copenhagen dream pop four-piece Moon Panda. Released at the end of last month, it’s a wistful slow-burner awash in dreamy textures and tender emotion, evoking shades of The Cardigans and Mazzy Star. Recorded largely at home by vocalist/bassist Maddy Myers and guitarist Gustav Moltke, with contributions from bandmates George Godwin and Josh Cabitac, the track — along with their upcoming third album 'Dumb Luck' (out 3 October) — was polished by returning producer Adam Thein (Djo) and the band's own George Godwin. The result is their most immersive and collaborative work to date: subtle yet assured, delicate yet deeply resonant. With previous support from BBC 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne, The Independent, The Line of Best Fit, MOJO and Loud & Quiet, the four-piece now set their sights on their debut U.S. tour this autumn with UK and Europe dates to be announced soon.
