Thundermoon are back with โ€œWe Can Do Better Than Thisโ€, their second EP, and first to be released on New Teeth Records. Thundermoon joined the New Teeth roster in early 2024 alongside the likes of Doom Scroller, Sarya, and The Micro Band, and have already released three singles on the label.

Following on from their first EP โ€œWeโ€™re Still Hereโ€ (Sep 2023), Thundermoon continue familiar nostalgia and end-of-the-world themes, in their trademark connective and hopeful way, with the juxtaposing realities of sharing adventures with pals, and the ever unescapable feeling of doom within the modern day capitalist hellscape.

Thundermoon captivates listeners into a time-travelling, extraterrestrial exploration of this life, filled with DIY beats, retro synth sounds and heart-healing melodies. The recurring hook and EP title โ€œWe Can Do Better Than Thisโ€ features in a couple of the tracks, driving home the overall themes of hope in the face of destruction and oppression. It’s a reminder that thereโ€™s another way to do all of this, thereโ€™s a better way to build the world.

โœจ Support from Lisa Fannen

Lisa shares words solo, and in performance with other musicians/soundmakers, including as part of the duo Claquer with Jer Reid. Her poetry collection ‘Faultline’ was released as a collaborative recording project. She is interested in (re)integrating text, sound and performance, and has been working on a larger scale ritual performance ‘Return’ which weaves together a long poem for four voices, a string quartet, pipes, drums and masked dancers.

Lisa is also a bodyworker and activist concerned with dialogue and information exchange about health in the context of social justice and has published related writing including the book ‘Warp & Weft: psycho-emotional health, politics and experiences’. She’s excited to open up for the Thundermoon EP launch.
