After establishing themselves with their critically-acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2018, US indie-rock band Lo Moon have now been announced as the main support act for The War On Drugs' upcoming UK & European tour early next year.
With the group also set to return with new material this November, their broad and atmospheric direction makes for the perfect accompaniment to The War On Drugs' dreamy and euphoric sound. Perfectly illustrated by their powerful initial single 'Loveless,' their glittering catalogue can also be found on their SPOTIFY as well as all other DSPs.

Lo Moon are comprised of lead singer Matt Lowell from New York, Crisanta Baker (guitar, bass, keys) from Denver, Sam Stewart (guitar) from London and Sterling Laws (drums) from Seattle; with Los Angeles becoming their eventual meeting place. It was Lowell who instigated Lo Moon before it even had a name. His mantra - if you like - for all the material was their first release 'Loveless,' a track he had been working on for years.
Their self-titled debut album - a dark, luscious collection of songs full of crescendo rock and sparkling electronics - spanned the breadth of human highs and lows. The record could sit happily among the likes of Talk Talk, Roxy Music, early Coldplay, and the cinematic scope of Sigur Ros. Lauded for its 'shimmering, immersive and otherworldly' (NPR) qualities, Lo Moon received critical praise from the likes of The New York Times, Billboard, Vice, NME, The Sunday Times, DIY and many more.
Elsewhere their songs hit the top 3 on Billboard's AAA chart and gained international radio support from stations including KCRW, BBC 6Music & Radio 1 and NPR. During that period the band appeared on US late night TV shows Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Late Show with James Corden and played more than 150 dates, headlining in North America and Europe, and supporting the likes of The War On Drugs, Phoenix, Glass Animals, Air, London Grammar and Chvrches along the way. Elsewhere, they capped off their touring with festival performances including Governor's Ball in NYC, Lollapalooza in Chicago and All Points East in London.
