Arizona indie electro group Bella Lune has released their fourth official studio album, ‘Tranzendance’, on January 31, 2015, via the band’s self-run record label Aetheria Music.
Their first album since 2013’s ‘Secrets’ draws on influences from dance-oriented music like EDM, EBM, pop and ethereal trap, and adds a more bass-heavy approach to their song template of post-punk and ethereal music. Lyrical topics include introspection in both positive and negative lights, in addition to the politically charged “Cease To Exist,” which concerns climate change.
The album as a whole is a collaboration between Bella Lune front-woman Fuchsia Angel, keyboardist Hurley and Mike Jenney of Alter Der Ruine. Jenney laid the beats and percussion for each song and provided additional production. Under his side-project Dystonix, Alex King of BlakOpz also contributed a remix of “Hollow Hearts,” a song from ‘Secrets’, adding layers of dance-oriented synths and a heavier atmosphere.
‘Tranzendance’ is available for purchase as a digipack on the band’s website http://bellalune.net/. Fans can also name their price for a download of the album on the Bandcamp page http://bellalune.bandcamp.com/. A portion of all proceeds go to musicandmemory.org, a charity that seeks to enrich the lives of elderly Alzheimer's patients in nursing homes through music therapy.
