As 2015 was wrapping up, an unknown outfit called Joon Moon took the music world by surprise with its first single Chess. The four cuts on the Call Me EP, a beguiling mix of pop and soul, electronic music and jazz, melancholy and elegy, heralded a forthcoming album that was bound to leave a blast radius on landing.
And while the name and vibe of the project evokes a purple veloured, old-Hollywood universe, Joon Moon was borne out of a resolutely contemporary meeting of the minds - the kind the can only happen amidst our jetsetting music scene.
After ten years of touring the world playing double bass with Marc Collin’s Nouvelle Vague ensemble, alongside excursions into house music on the Yellow Productions Art of Disco compilations, not to mention co-producing Florent Marchet’s Bamby Galaxy album, it was time for songwriter/producer/renaissance man Julien Decoret to dedicate his heart and soul to a new challenge.
With Raphaël Chassin, (Hugh Coltman, Vanessa Paradis, Pauline Croze) on drums, helping out with the production and arrangements, and Sébastien Trouvé as sound engineer, Decoret set out on his retro-modern Joon Moon mission, laying out the contours of a world where trip-hop, jazz, soul and electronic music live side by side, sharing their joys and sorrows. The only missing element was that one last bit of magic, a voice that could take the project to ever-loftier heights.
Enter Krystle Warren. She had worked with Rufus Wainwright, and Scritti Politti’s Green Gartside, and had made forays into house music herself by providing vocals to two cuts off Hercules and Love Affair's, The Feast of the Broken Heart. That’s not even mentioning her own band, Krystle Warren and The Faculty - and its three albums - which display her impressive grasp of soul music, folk, blues...
Joon Moon’s first album Moonshine Corner, which stole part of its name from an Austin watering hole that had become a haunt during its first American mini-tour, is the sound of four people meeting at an unlikely crossroads named Melancholy. Recorded using modern studio techniques along with vintage 60s and 70s instruments, Moonshine Corner places its chips on a subtly modern vibe through twelve lovelorn tracks that weave themselves around pop and trip hop, folk and soul, jazz licks and electronic washes, digging their own groove in the river bed dug by years and years of exposure to Radiohead, Neil Young, and Zero 7.
Joon Moon is also, lest we forget, a project that takes on its full magnitude on stage. The barebones live setup (drums, piano) allows Krystle’s powerful voice to fill the space, swaying from nervy to more subdued laments, hopping around tessitura in the blink of an eye. Consider the live french version of Radiohead’s I Might Be Wrong, which transports you to the fictional smoky jazz club where forgotten, old 50s star Joon Moon holds court behind the microphone.

In the end of the 2nd verse I heard "in between is everything. It's in the dead cells, oil" which actually makes a whole lot of sense.. but it was a doozy..

I wanted the lyrics too! I couldn't decipher the first line or the last line, but I did the best I could. Dear Internet: please don't attack me if I got the lyrics wrong. I want them to be correct, also, so I'm open to kindly-worded revisions! Here is Get Down lyrics to the best of my ability: Oooooooooooo ------?? But you believe in you You are all around fighting for your life Can’t play with your trouble Can’t live in doubt The being in the sky’s too big to let you bring him down Livin while you wonder Through the driving rain Not a light in sight tonight on a long and lonely road No peace have heard you? Nor have I sinned? Woe the death of kindness and all that you’ve been told * get down in your gold mine War down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine War down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine War down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine - war * ooooooooooooooooo No change in the weather It’s dark up there Only memories are left to guide the stairs Can’t play with your trouble Can’t live in doubt Being in the sky’s too big to let you bring him down whoa Wither while you wander thru the driving rain No light in sight tonight on a long and lonely road Once we drew breath once we accept In between is everything It’s in the Dixie soil * get down in the gold mine War down in it ya Get down in it and ya War down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine War down in your gold mine Get down in your gold in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine Whoa can you get down in it Can you whoa get down in your gold mine Whoa down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine*** You’ve been wondering have you reached the ground (reached the ground) You remember have you reached the ground (reached the ground) Slipping thru the rotten days of the underground Slipping thru the growing crack where the light rolls in --------????? In your gold mine whooooa Ooooooooooooooooooo Ooooooooooooooooooo Oooooooooooooooooooo

Some minor revisions that my ears picked up: ((Yeah I have no idea)) But you believe in you And you are all around fighting for your life Can’t play with your troubles Can’t live on doubts The big sky’s too big to let you bring him down Wither while you wander Through the driving rain Not a light in sight tonight on a lonely road No ears have heard you Nor eyes have seen Lord the depths of kindness and those days of old Get down in your gold mine Walk down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine Walk down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine Walk down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine Walk No change in the weather It’s dark up there Only memories are left to guide your stairs Can’t play with your troubles Can’t live on doubts And big sky’s too big to let you bring him down whoa Wither while you wander Through the driving rain Not a light in sight tonight on the lonely road Once we drew breath once we've excelled In between is everything It's in the details Get down in the gold mine Walk down in it ya Get down in it and ya Walk down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine Walk down in your gold mine Get down in your gold in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine Whoa can you get down in it Can you whoa get down in your gold mine Whoa down in your gold mine Get down in your gold mine (( ??? ))

@@cordellfenneval6215 I think it's "walk" down in your goldmine or "work" down in your goldmine, it's dark "out" there, etc., but hey, Joon Moon guys, would you please help us? ;)

I messed up and added them to the general thread but check out what I heard from the lyrics. I think it makes sense but of course it all wound up backwards.

Job as in job of the bible, am I spelling it right? Anyways first line. Job he unraveled but you believe in you, and you are all around fighting for your life.
