Moonbabies (band)

Their earliest efforts recalled early Indie/Shoegazer influences by bands like My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins, but with their 2004 album The Orange Billboard, developed into more sophisticated pop music with a touch of The Beach Boys and The Beatles, as well as experimentation with electronics. The Single/Mini-album War on Sound was released in 2005 and became an immediate indie-anthem and followed success on radio and TV-shows like Grey's Anatomy. In 2007 Moonbabies at the Ballroom was released, a somewhat more constructed and song-oriented album including Take me to the Ballroom, Shout it Out, Walking on my Feet and Cocobelle which all were frequently aired on college radio worldwide and included in several TV shows and commercials. The band played a series of shows at CMJ in New York in 2009, and started writing and recording their fourth studio album. Their comeback album Wizards on the Beach was released on their own label in April 2015 and was met with critical success in publications as BrooklynVegan and PopMatters as well as features on BBC radio 6. Ola and Carina has since then put the band on a hiatus due to becoming parents and pursuing careers in other fields.
