Moonpool is a Denver-based heavy shoegaze and grunge act fusing the rawness of post-punk with the crushing beauty of 90s alternative. With singer/guitarist Raymond Suny, guitarist Izaiah Miller and drummer Steven Hartman, the trio channels emotional intensity through walls of distortion, explosive rhythm, and haunting melody. Moonpool’s forthcoming release Syzygy is a twin-blade — two songs in spiritual and sonic alignment.
On “Like You Do,” the band confronts anima and shadow through a toxic-love-as-mirror narrative—equal parts Jungian and bleeding-heart. Its closing mantra, “I know, I know you wanted to,” echoes like a ghost in the gut. Companion track “Aim” is even heavier: a scorched-earth anthem of self-confrontation and spiritual reckoning, erupting into full-bodied tremolo and shoegaze intensity.
Both songs were written during moonpool’s own metamorphosis—grappling with identity, rebirth, and the sacred violence of change. Mixed and recorded in-house, with drums tracked by Colin Ingram, the tracks retain a DIY urgency even as they reach cinematic heights. The “Like You Do” video cuts between raw performance shots, a mimicking shadow and VHS detachment, reflecting the inner fragmentation at the heart of the songs.
The band’s previous EP Nothing Sacred cemented their sound within modern grungegaze. But Syzygy marks evolution—moonpool’s synthesis of intricate songwriting, guttural honesty, and arena-sized catharsis. There’s no medication like this.
