Moon Ageโs latest single, โTime is Running Out,โ is a shimmering blast of โ80s nostalgia wrapped in a fresh, modern groove. From the moment the track kicks in, youโre hit with a funky bassline and crisp synth melodies that feel like theyโve been plucked straight from a neon-lit dream. The beats are tight, smacking with precision, keeping the energy up while the melodies weave effortlessly around them.
Then thereโs the vocal magic. Delivered with a breathy, ethereal ease, the refrain โtime is running outโ lingers like an ASMR whisper in your ear, gentle but urgent, light but soaked in meaning. The husky delivery glides through the track, blending seamlessly with the dreamy production. And just when you think youโve got the song figured out, in come the swelling strings, with a rich, multi-layered elegance that elevates the whole thing to another level.
Itโs no surprise that Moon Age, aka Stockport duo Matt Hanson and Bryn Shipperlee, has crafted such a tight, polished sound, despite recording this gem in an attic studio. Their DIY approach doesnโt hold them back; if anything, it gives the track a raw authenticity that stands out in todayโs overproduced pop landscape. Drawing inspiration from Tame Impala, Mark Ronson, and Khruangbin, theyโve nailed that sweet spot between vintage and modern, nostalgic and forward-thinking.
โTime is Running Outโ is a mood. A sunset drive, a last dance before the lights go up, a reminder that moments slip away faster than we realize. With this second release, Moon Age proves theyโre on a roll and you need to catch on to them right now.
