PDX’s finest music journalist, Jason Cohen ( @cohenesque ) wrote a superb bio that tells the story of LUNA - and a whole lot about where I’ve been, how I got to where I’m at, and where I’m going. Excerpt below 👇 but you can read the whole thing via link in bio ☝️. Thank you, Jason. ✍️🔥🙏 “Joshua Zarbo wrote and recorded LUNA by himself at home over the past two years. So yes… it’s a pandemic record. But it’s also a lot more than that, and many things at once. It’s a New York City record, by way of Austin and Nashville. It’s a D.I.Y. record from a trained musician. It’s a keyboard record by a lifelong bassist, and a pop record steeped in teutonic rock. It’s a product of divorce, Music For Airports, talk therapy, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. It’s also a debut. Like a character actor seizing his first romantic lead, or a sous chef finally opening his own restaurant, the 48 year-old Zarbo – a key member of Spoon for nearly a decade who has also played with the likes of Sondre Lerche, Fred Armisen, The Band of Heathens, John Vanderslice, and numerous other artists – is announcing himself as a headliner, compressing all of his passion and experience into five songs about loss and hope and rock’n’roll and Brooklyn. From the bubbling grooves and horn-like synthesizer riffs of ‘Mister Rock’ – a wry, appropriately robotic meditation on the personas of both flesh-and-blood rock frontmen and rock show holograms – to the epic, blood-rushing anthem ‘Monastical,’ LUNA is the veritable first record that took a lifetime… and will leave you wanting more.” (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbF3CNbOD3f/?utm_medium=tumblr
