Episode 47: Maura Pond (Luna Honey)

Maura Pond, Benjamin Schurr and Levi Flack have been releasing music together as Luna Honey for seven years. In that time they’ve released six studio albums, each of them its own unique sonic document. The latest record, Bound, is at times reminiscent of artists as diverse as Scott Walker, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Coil and Swans. In Luna-Honey land the tone is often dark, but there’s a playfulness and delight in absurdity, allowing the listener to have fun (even while feeling slightly unnerved). Maura discusses the latest record, some of the band’s musical and lyrical inspirations, working with ex-Swans guitarist Norman Westberg and the joys of pitch-shifted kazoos.
