Episode 47: Maura Pond (Luna Honey)

Singer / guitarist Maura Pond discusses Bound, the latest record by experimental dark rock trio Luna Honey

Maura Pond, Benjamin Schurr and Levi Flack have been releasing music together as Luna Honey for seven years. In that time they’ve released six studio albums, each of them its own unique sonic document.

The latest record, Bound, is at times reminiscent of artists as diverse as Scott Walker, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Coil and Swans.

In Luna-Honey land the tone is often dark, but there’s a playfulness and delight in absurdity, allowing the listener to have fun (even while feeling slightly unnerved).

Maura discusses the latest record, some of the band’s musical and lyrical inspirations, working with ex-Swans guitarist Norman Westberg and the joys of pitch-shifted kazoos.

Closing track: "Barbie Cake" from Bound (Self released, 2024)

Whatever Comes Next
Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman
On Whatever Comes Next I explore the world of independent and underground music making. I talk with music makers, producers and label owners to hear their stories. I like music with a sense of mystery. I like surprises and unique stories... and noise... and weirdness... and darkness... and I want to learn more.
