Far from just the name of Ethan Gold's new single, "I'm in the Moon" is a battle cry for every introvert who has felt the need to slam the door on the world and luxuriate in sweet solitude. This lively ode to retreat reads like a rebellious handshake between us, silently carting our trauma, rage, and the intransigent need to disappear.
"I'm in the Moon" is the soundtrack for canceling plans, ignoring texts, and retreating to the comforting arms of your own shadow. Recorded at Nashville with his pal Cal Campbell, Glen Campbell's son. Gold took charge of production and played most of the instruments, while Adam Moseley (The Cure & others) worked his mixing magic.
"I'm in the Moon" is also the next installment in Gold's Earth City trilogy, an extended dive into a messy, beautiful chaos called modern life. The latest of these, the second in this series set to arrive in September, concerns stories about connection, love, and the quiet struggles we pursue in isolation, an ideal read for people who serve time in urban centers and feel like phantoms in packed spaces.
Gold's idiosyncratic take on existential pop is inflected by a life rich with artistry and tragedy, from his upbringing in San Francisco to personal losses that thread through each note. His music reflects our ambivalence toward the outside world. So, if you're ready or the moon is to walk in your hermit's cage, Ethan Gold has your jam. Turn it up. Tune out. And feel seen.
