Lunar Lagoon is here to drag the genre through the gutter and into a beautiful, grimy neon light with their new single “Miles”.
The engine room of this operation is Joe Nurrish, whose moody, thoughtful lyricism is the soul of the project. But Lunar Lagoon has evolved into a formidable collaborative beast with Luke Morton in the mix. Their live band is a who’s-who of Melbourne’s gritty underbelly, pulling talent from acts like Heir Traffic, Polly & The Pockets,and Everyday Believer.
Lunar Lagoon specializes in capturing the spaces between—that fragile, electric moment where darkness coincides with light, where nostalgia for something undefined claws at your chest. That’s the territory “Miles” explores: the unknown, the introspective, the beautifully bleak.
Here’s the kicker: “Miles” was recorded, mixed, and mastered internally by the group. That’s right—total artistic control. This is a band that owns its sound from the first spark to the final master, and that DIY integrity bleeds into every meticulously made second. This single is just the first shot across the bow, with a self-titled EP slated for early 2026 that promises even more depth, featuring performances from heavy-hitters like Daniel Devlin (The Belair Lip Bombs, Delivery), Emma Hall-Phillips (aw b), and Harry Lowe (Dual Citizen).
Don’t think for a second these guys are studio hermits. They’ve already made waves, snagging plays on Triple R (Breakfasters & Double Bounce shows) and landing their track “Wayw(ard)” in FBI Radio’s best new music playlist on high rotation. They’ve stormed stages at the Northcote Social Club’s “Social Sanctuary” and headlined a Jameson-sponsored event at The Old Bar, sharing bills with acts like Mature Themes and The Great Divides.
“Miles” is a statement. It’s Lunar Lagoon announcing they’ve arrived, not with a bang, but with a pervasive, cool-as-hell simmer that gets under your skin and stays there. This is the sound of the underground fermenting, evolving, and ready to swallow you whole. Get in the lagoon. The water’s perfectly, wonderfully dark.
