Lunar Fiction

Lunar Fiction is an Orange County disco/funk band formed of former Johnny Was members who happen to be pretty chill guys.  At first listen to the title track “Destiny” off their new album Does Anybody Remember Laughter? I felt pretty apathetic.  Generally this funk-disco stuff doesn’t do it for me.  I didn’t grow up on 70s rock and I have neither the nostalgia nor desire for it.  But as I let it play I ended up muting the TV and my head developed a slight tick also known as the beginnings of dancing.  The vocals are impeccable and the melodies are infectious.  The lyrics are salacious and viciously sexy.  Songs like “She’s a Killer” and “Speakeasy” rocked some fun guitar riffs which were fantastically mixed with dance-y beats.  Others like “All I Wanna Do” and “Get Ready Now” more on the dance-disco end of the spectrum.  No matter which you prefer, you might find yourself begrudgingly shaking your money maker to these fun tracks, even if they’re not what you’re into.  And if this electro dance rock is your beat of choice, you might find yourself confessing “Hi my name’s ____ and it’s been 10 minutes since I’ve listened to Lunar Fiction.”
