halie and the moon's first full-length album, "Blue Transmissions: vol. 1 & 2", immerses itself in a world of ephemeral beauty, love, and sweet melancholy in equal measures. "Otherworldly yet intimate, their aesthetic is a kind of catch-and-release, grounded in pop smarts and yet forever urging itself into the firmament. The result is a symphonic, atmospheric sound that is no less mysterious and thrilling for being entirely accessible." (Rick Levin, Eugene Weekly, 5/4/17).
6 never-before-recorded songs combine with 4 re-mixed and re-mastered tracks featured on the band's debut EP "Blue Transmissions: vol. 1" (released 12/8/15) to create a fully-realized body of work representing these musical "Blue Transmissions" in all their myriad forms.

lyrics
Breathe
Written by Daniel Gallo (drawing the sky music, BMI)
Head held to the side, you see him:
Another wayward astronaut
Smiling up through a paper cup
Your fingers trace the smile, you see him
Ripple dirty ponds in a muddy haze
Check the high time for another day
The skin you fall in to
Weaving out the thunder clapping through
A weary sky
Breathe now baby
Let the constellations take you
And all and all the everything
Is hanging on an ether swing
Sink now baby
Let the holy water bathe you
And all and all the everything is hanging
Within you
Begin you
What you gonna win
From spinning stars into your eyes?
Begin you
Within you
All you’ve got to know
Is trace the glow
Breathe now baby
Let the constellations take you
And all and all the everything
Is hanging on an ether swing
Sink now baby
Let the holy water bathe you
And all and all the everything is hanging
Don’t you feel like a homeless balloon
In someone else’s song, and you play along
Can’t you sing like a homeless balloon in someone else’s song?
Play...
Breathe now baby
Let the constellations take you
And all and all the everything
Is hanging on an ether swing
Sink now baby
Let the holy water bathe you
And all and all the everything is hanging
This is perhaps Halie Loren's best album to date. The variety of styles, and the songwriting, are excellent. I have been a fan since she did the Port Au Prince Intl Jazz Festival a couple years ago. This album transcends genres. todd1049
