A debut that demands a second listen.
Back in September 2023, a curious ripple echoed out of Rockaway Beach, New York. I Should Go, the debut EP from local DIY outfit Mourning Moon and Knight, landed with a self-assured blend of soul-searching lyrics and space-age sonics. Part family band, part musical collective, this genre-fluid crew proved they weren’t just jamming in a basement – they were building their own sonic universe.
Three tracks, three visions. One band.
Each of the EP’s songs acts like a narrative outpost in a bigger, conceptual sprawl. Golden Boy taps into the exhaustion of being perceived as good – morality as a burden, not a virtue. Bust My Ass is a lovesick lament that teeters between hope and heartbreak. Cosmic Orca blasts off into deep-space relationship drama – like Pink Floyd raised on D’Angelo and post-emo playlists. It’s bold, unfiltered, and strangely cohesive.

DIY to the core – and that’s the charm.
The entire record was tracked and produced in their own 9A Studio – not some glossy setup, but a Rockaway base buzzing with makeshift magic. There's an undeniable roughness around the edges, but it fits. These aren’t polished pop tracks; they’re emotional demos fully fleshed out – first stabs at something ambitious, theatrical, and deeply personal.
From Park Slope basements to Harlem stages.
This band’s journey is already rich with lore. From early gigs at art collective hangouts like The Sloodge, to regular appearances at Harlem’s Shrine World Music Venue, Mourning Moon and Knight feel like a band emerging from the underbelly of NYC’s alternative scene – tighter than their résumé suggests, and more experimental than they have any right to be.
If I Should Go is the prologue, we’re already hooked for the next chapter.
