With the same sweetness as the White Shoes and the same hometown as Mocca, this band also shares a similar fascination
with easy-listening retro pop. The sound is a bit jazzier and the band often takes their cute love songs to a sadder
place, exploring themes of long-distance longing and bittersweet breakups. The band started out with a male vocalist
singing in English when it formed in 1999 but shortly thereafter the members felt their sound and style needed a
feminine touch. Enter lead singer Manik, who helped transform the band and take their sound to a wider audience.
Better distribution on a major label was the next step for this band making music under "the moon," as their name
suggests, and in the studios of some of the best producers in Jakarta.
