Fancy Gap – Strawberry Moon (Feat. Sharon Van Etten)

“Strawberry Moon,” the lead single from Fancy Gap featuring Sharon Van Etten, is a mesmerizing track that beautifully blends folk influences with subtle hints of ’80s synth undercurrents. Initially conceived a decade ago with a different sonic approach, the song has evolved significantly under the collaborative spirit of Fancy Gap and the deft production guidance of Charles.

This version strips back to a more folk-centric aesthetic, featuring contributions from notables like Rami Jaffee on keys and Jon Graboff on pedal steel, which delicately frame the haunting, emotive vocals of Sharon Van Etten. The track’s evolution is a testament to the transformative power of collaboration, bringing out latent qualities in the music that even its creator, McLamb, hadn’t fully appreciated.

The accompanying animated video by Persona La Ave adds a visually arresting layer to the song, with its dreamlike sequences that perfectly capture the ethereal tone of the music. “Strawberry Moon” is not just a song but a narrative of rediscovery and artistic rebirth, imbued with a sense of nostalgia and the serendipitous beauty of reconnecting with the past through music.
