Welcome to the new Moonlake website. (We were previously on moonlakemusic.com)
about moonlake
'Feedback Nr. 1' was the first single taken from Moonlake's second studio album 'Oscillating Headcom. (2003)'. The leading lowlands magazine 'OOR' chose Moonlake to be part of their 'Oorgasm' compilation as one of, as they were calling it, Belgium's finest.
Belgian's leading radio station 'Studio Brussel' puts Moonlake on their compilation 'MusicAtWork Daytime Delights'. Eventually, 3 singles were taken from 'Oscillating Headcom.'. Lasting 13 weeks in the lowlands leading hit-lists, 'Feedback Nr. 1' was followed by 'Cold Sweat' and '67'.
Before all this happened, Moonlake signed to SFR-record (Sony) in Amsterdam. The band, founded in 1998 in Kortrijk (Belgium, Europe), recorded their first studio album 'Hippotraffic' for the Amsterdam label. Following this release, the band toured mainly in The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Poland. That is how Moonlake had built up a solid live reputation.
Brussels-based BMG sub-label 'Les Enfants Terribles' signed Moonlake to record their second studio album. 'Les Enfants Terribles' made them team up with top producers Zed (Autopulver, Kent) and George Shilling (including Blur, New Radicals, Marc Almond, Billy Bragg) for the recording of the album.
'Oscillating Headcom' did what it had to do, making Moonlake tour again in 2004 in Europe and this time round including dates in their home country. The album was, according to some journalists a masterpiece of poetic, melodic and panoramic, dramatic, passionate songs, and to others, maybe a little too polished. No matter how you look at it, the band was again on the road after this release, opening for acts like Porcupine Tree and Saybia.
During this busy period, BMG HQ in London announced to ditch many European sub-labels, including 'Les Enfants Terribles'. Moonlake decided to take complete control of its story and went into its recording studio to start recording new songs. Recordings went well, and the new songs sounded excellent and promising.
But after many years of touring, intensive recording sessions and the problematic relationship with different record companies, the band needed a solid break. This temporary pause turned out to be a long-lasting break, with band members endeavouring into new bands and projects. But then, in early 2013, the band got back together and decided they wanted to finish what they started back in the years when 'Oscillating Headcom.' was being released.
To celebrate this new chapter, Moonlake started with the worldwide release of its previous studio album 'Oscillating Headcom.', in the online stores iTunes, Amazon MP3, Spotify and Shazam, in late 2013.
Announcing the brand new album, Moonlake launched in November 2013, exclusively on their website, the song 'Break The Unbreakable'. A great song that didn't make it to the final cut of their third studio album called "Grand Earnest Waling".
Meanwhile, Moonlake finished the recordings, Woolf mixed the album, and the band asked Dave Locke (Boston, USA) to master it. The release was in 2014.
