So I've been eagerly awaiting John Maus's upcoming album We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves ever since hearing its abso-fucking-credible first single, "Believer." So when I heard "Hey Moon," the fourth track on the aforementioned fifth album from the reclusive Minnesota native, I figured it was another product of his songwriting genius. Guess I was a little premature. The track is still awesome, but it turns out the song was actually originally written by the equally mysterious Stockholm freeform dream-pop singer Molly Nilsson.
She seems to be closely associated with the Dark Skies Association label, and she's touring the U.S. for the first time in November. She's still booking her tour, so send her a message if you want her in your town. The original version of "Hey Moon!" appears on her 2009 full-length These Things Take Time, and you can grab it below, along with the John Maus cover.
the track is awesome
