LA indie-pop band, Moontower have shared their catchy new single, “State Of Mind“. Arriving alongside a moody monochrome music video, the track marks the band’s first new music this year. Listen to it now below.
Complete with dreamy instrumentals and a memorable chorus that’ll have you humming along with the song long after it comes to an end, some fans might recognize the song from tour last year. The band is currently out on the road with Weathers until the end of May, where fans can expect to hear “State Of Mind” and more bops each night. All upcoming shows can be found HERE.
Speaking on “State Of Mind” the band said, “State of Mind is about asking yourself, ‘Who would you let yourself be if you were the only person on Earth, if you knew there was no afterlife or that the afterlife wasn’t all it’s been made out to be?’ I think we all have an idea of that version of ourselves in our head and we’re striving to be them but we’re all on our time, and that’s okay. We wrote this song as a reminder to ourselves, and to whoever needs it, that we have the power and permission to be whoever we want as long as we’re kind to ourselves and each other along the way.
Specifically for me (Jacob) this song is about finding the courage to open up about my journey with gender identity and expression. I’ve been out for almost four years but about two years ago I started to feel really unsettled in my body. I was spending tons of time in my room, dressing up, trying to see someone in the mirror who looked like how I felt. I’ve known for awhile that I’m non-binary and that I want to outwardly express the fluidy of my gender, but it was took time and work to feel ready to share that with others. Now I’m having so much fun getting to know myself, even if it’s knowing I’m confused.
We’re so lucky that this Moontower family is so accepting and open. It makes expressing ourselves on stage infinitely easier than, say going to the grocery store, and I know a lot of people feel that way about our shows. They’re a safe place to be yourself or try something new, and we love that. We’re all just helping each other find courage.”
