The Big Moon spew out tangled web of guitars called "The Road"

02 September 2015, 17:41 | Written by Laurence Day

London four-piece The Big Moon have shared a new track titled "The Road" ahead of their lengthy autumn of touring.

Produced by the band themselves and mixed by Spring King's Tarek Musa, the laid-bare guitar-pop tune is a tangled web of riffs, church organs, and Warpaint-y harmonies. There's a touch of Nadine Shah about the vocals, but The Big Moon prefer poppier realms than the post-punk depths Shah explores.

Earlier this year The Big Moon swanned into our lives with the addictive brilliance of "Sucker".

"The Road" is set for release on 30 October via Handsome Dad.
