When the job is well done, a label is like a family home for an artist: they feel a sense of belonging there, hang out with their cousins, and the entire clan is strengthened. Helping musicians to release their albums and share their art, numerous European independent labels allow us to discover, on a daily basis, some incredible artists. Let’s pay tribute to them each month with a playlist: after April’s focus on United We Fly, this new selection is dedicated to… Moonlee Records!
Created in 2004 by a handful of music enthusiasts from Slovenia and Croatia under the command of Mr. Moonlee, their giant martial-artist lemon mascot, Moonlee Records is an independent label based in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital city. By 2011, the lemony house had expanded into Moonlee Booking, organising shows and tours for its bands ranging from atmospheric instrumental post-rock to vigorous rock’n’roll.
Moonlee Records’ talented bands, such as Lelee, KOIKOI, Seine, Repetitor or ŽEN, have, naturally, been celebrated in Europavox’s articles and festivals. This playlist is the perfect opportunity to refresh your memory on their guitar-packed bangers. And what better way to start than ŽEN’s new single ‘NEDAMISE’, an indie-rock sweet treat while we’re waiting for the Croatian trio’s fourth album to be released in June… On Moonlee Records of course!
