Athens, Georgia’s Hotel Fiction have released their shimmering new single, “Man on the Moon”, taken from their upcoming EP, Enjoy Your Stay, out October 28th. The band’s second single off of the upcoming project, “Man on the Moon” is robust and galaxy-filling, with a cord of self-awareness anchoring the group back to Earth. Listen to it now below.
On the song, the duo said, “’Man on the Moon,’ despite being one of our most upbeat songs, is a metaphor for a struggling relationship. Distance can make someone you love feel like they’re on a different planet, physically and emotionally.” They continue. “It’s bittersweet to hear about a loved one’s adventures over the phone when they are far away. You’re happy they’re having the time of their life but wish you were there to enjoy those moments with them. The song never asks them to come home and has long accepted the fact that maybe they never will.”
