Dean Wareham’s experimental dream pop group Luna have been pretty quiet since 2017. That year, they released an EP called A Place Of Greater Safety, as well as a covers album called A Sentimental Education. The covers included Fleetwood Mac’s “One Together,” Mink DeVille’s “Let Me Dream If I Want To,” and the Cure’s “Fire In Cairo,” which was shared with a music video starring Rose McGowan. Now, the group is back with something new.

Luna have a new single out today through the Sonic Cathedral singles club. The A-side features their cover of Thunderclap Newman’s “Something In The Air” with Sean Eden on vocals, originally released last fall. The B-side is an instrumental comprising two songs, “The Oort Cloud/Kuiper Belt.” Both instrumentals are haunting and spacey in atmosphere. The first starts with an expansive horizon and descends into soft rock territory. The second is a bit funkier and psychedelic. It’s got a quicker tempo as guitar twangs echo out past the space occupied by the jamming drums.

Luna have also announced a set of shows where they’ll play full albums — 1993’s Bewitched, 1995’s Penthouse, or their 1992 debut album, Lunapark, as well. Those dates can be found below.

Check out “The Oort Cloud/Kuiper Belt” below, where you can also hear the Thunderclap Newman cover.
