Luna

Electropop
ElectropopSynth-popTrip hop

Luna is a Electropop and Synth-pop act. Their catalogue also touches Trip hop. Their sound grew out of Galaxie 500, Lætitia Sadier, Heo Sol-ji, Mariko Shinoda and Justyna Steczkowska. Those roots explain a lot about how Luna arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Yo La Tengo, Superchunk, Stephen Malkmus, The Wedding Present and Lilys, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Young Galaxy and Sad Day For Puppets, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Luna, reaching back through Galaxie 500 and forward to Young Galaxy. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
