General Comments / Reviews:

Great guitar driven indie power-pop. - DJ Stace

A revealing, continually powerful set of songs, ‘Here Is Everything’ is a fantastically engaging experience, arguably the strongest set The Big Moon have placed their name against. -Clash Music

From their pen through to their sound, ‘Here Is Everything’ is emotive and glossy; one that gives space to breathe in this busy world. - NME

Tracklist:

1. ***** 2 Lines 04:00 - Midtempo, driving guitar pop anthem. Perfect.
2. *** Wide Eyes 03:30 - Soaring diva anthem
3. Daydreaming 04:03 - Uptempo, pop. Maybe a bit saccharine.
4. *** This Love 04:53 - Midtempo with twangy acoustic guitar riff, throbbing bass beat and deep throaty vocals. A little bit reminiscent of Nico.
5. **** Sucker Punch 04:30 - C&W blues rock ballad. Strumming and jangly. Killer.
6. My Very Best 04:24 - Long build buzzing intro (14 seconds), builds to piano-driven midtempo Bruce Springsteen-esque rock anthem.
7. ***** Ladye Bay 04:33 - Great uptempo rhythmic acoustic rocker. Expansive chorus. Another perfect pop rock track. Segue with PJ Harvey.
8. **** Trouble 03:51 - Driving danceable beat. Anthemic chorus. Segue with Spoon.
9. High & Low 03:35 - Slow, soaring piano ballad.
10. **** Magic 04:02 - Krautrock disco rhythms, new wave lyrical sensibilities. glittery, uptempo dance track.
11. **** Satellites 05:11 - Slow to midtempo piano strumming handclap ballad. Melodic and almost Shoegazey, almost.
