Wikipedia article
"'On the Luna'" is the second single by British indie rock band Foals from their fifth studio album, 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1'. The song and music video were released on 14 February 2019.
Style
'DIY' magazine called "On the Luna" a "slice of vintage" Foals with a mixture of loud/quiet verses. Patrick Clarke of 'New Music Express' described the song as a "jerky" track. In an interview with 'New Music Express', Yannis Philippakis described the direction of the track as it not being "yin and yang or anything corny like that. You can also tell that its a band working in the same space over the same period of time. If you were to put it crudely, the first record is probably more keyboard-driven and has slightly more of a new wave feel to it. Then album two has more of the heavier rock frenetic energy."
Lake Shatz of the 'Consequence of Sound' called the song a mixture of "bright, 80s-style synths matched up with lively guitar riffs".
Music video
The music video features montages of old footage and the band recording the track at 123 Studios in London. The footage for the video was compiled by Kit Monteith and Alex Knowles.
The video was edited by Michael Sherrington at Forest of Black Studios.
