Iskander Moon lights up the night with Salt Moon City. With Salt Moon City, Iskander Moon establishes himself as one of the most promising new voices in Belgian pop. His songwriting, both intimate and majestic, transforms raw emotions into soundscapes of great magnitude. Diaphanous melodies, orchestral flourishes, and organic warmth respond to each other in a balance of rare elegance. One might think of Sufjan Stevens or Paolo Nutini, but Iskander Moon primarily asserts a singular identity: a luminous, inhabited pop that doesn't need showmanship to hit home. A revealing album, crafted to accompany the night as well as grand departures.
