"Equal parts ethereal and infectious, "Moon" is a smoothly assured return from Krrum , with its early Metronomy or Hot Chip -inspired electronics enveloping a song which fundamentally deals, they say, "with the ritual of wanting to pursue a relationship with someone, but not wanting to jump the gun and ruin it. It's an uncomfortable place to be because you have no control and you're probably gonna mess it all up, like you always do,'" Krrum frontman Alex Carrie wrote within a recent Golightly Media press release. Krrum was founded by "spectacularly-bearded lead producer and song-writer A lex Carrie " around 2010 and sees to have recently morphed into a fully-fleshed out band, as their Facebook page repeatedly states, " Krrum is a band."

I'm from the Los Angeles area, always made music, mostly was a drummer in bands and within the past couple years, have made the jump from making beats on my laptop to producing my own music and eventually, putting out this project.
