The keen reader might remember Mohawk Castle from an article we published earlier this year, celebrating the American creative as “particularly known for crafting meaningful material, songs that often dive deeper into emotional challenges and religious resolutions”. His musical practice is, in fact, constantly guided by his own religious faith, something that might resonate with some listeners out there. That said, one could also just appreciate the project in its aural plane.
‘In Moonlight’ is the perfect evidence of that, a record that feels crepuscular and nuanced, an artsy, spacious piece that feels like the meeting point of indie pop allure and experimental flair. Mohawk Castle’s melancholic vocals feel like a fever dream, resonating from afar while carrying a crucial, personal message.
Delving deeper into the profound and introspective religious ethos that propels the record, we are told: “It is extremely significant to the trajectory of Mohawk Castle’s upcoming sophomore album because it is the final track, the nail in the coffin, the saddest yet most luminous track of the lot and is not only a message about the power of Jesus Christ, but also a message about the power of love. Which unequivocally go hand in hand.”
