The Swedish synthpop act Moonlight Cove has released a new single, “We will always be the rain”. Mattias Löfroth explains: “It is somewhat of a nostalgic synthwave/synthpop track, reminiscent of being a teenager in a small Swedish town.”

The single is the project’s first new release since 2018.

Moonlight Cove originally formed in 1994 and consists of Markus Landgren on vocals and Mattias Löfroth and Marcus Karlsson on synths. The band has released two albums on the Kinetophone label, in 2008 (“Orphans of the Storm”) and 2012 (“Hearts of the World”). Both albums were nominated for “Best Synth” at Swedish alternative grammies, Manifest. After a single on Universal Music, the 2014 released “Wait”, the band – which by then returned to the Kinetophone label – decided to only release singles in the future.

Here’s the new track.

And we have some more news from up north after the earlier Electro Spectre news. The Swedish synthpopers Moonlight Cove have released a new track today: “For I Am You”. You might remember the band from their 2 albums (released in 2008 and 2012) which were nominated for “Best Synth” at the “Manifest Awards” in Sweden.

The Stockholm/Gothenburg based act started in 1994 and is the common project of the trio Markus Landgren, Mattias Löfroth and Marcus Karlsson.

The long delay in releasing material is related to what all of us 70s guys have to go through: “Since we all have big families nowadays, we have been focusing on releasing a single track here and there. But we still love synthezisers ;-)”.
