"'Poet Lies'... looks set to be a dizzying, mellifluous debut opus, led by the entrancing “Lover’s Eye”"

"“Silver Dust” acts as another taste of Potiker’s dreamy alchemy, crafting a track that is equally a gently swaying guitar ballad and a floating dream pop reverie."
Under The Radar

"Her music captures a larger-than-life sound through her use of strings, one that is almost cinematic; and, with the help of Texas-based producer Manuel Calderon (aka El Cosmophonico), she has been able to create her own unique soundscape that is distinctly moondaddy."
The Line of Best Fit

 

Today, moondaddy shares the second ethereal single from their upcoming Lightwave Lightwave EP, a meditative rumination on lost love in the multiverse, "Conquer Me". There is a spectral, almost otherworldly, feel to the song with its fragile, textured musicality, and Cara’s mesmerizing slow-burn vocals. Faint guitar melodies almost feel like cries from haunted love."It is about all of the possibilities that can be co-occurring with our present reality, and wishing for one scenario to take dominance," front woman Cara Potiker remarks.

What started out as escapism from existential angst has morphed into artistic assuredness for the San Diego, California-based dream pop band. In just a few years, the buzzed-about quintet’s singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cara Potiker has gone from hazily sketching out tunes in her bedroom to tripping out audiences and turning heads with moondaddy’s mesmerizing live show. Last month, moondaddy announced the news of their newest EP, Lightwave Lightwave, a four-song collection that sees the band take its fearless and transcendent live show into the studio for a bold, completely analog recording experience.

“This is the first project that sounds exactly the way I want my music to sound. I didn’t have the confidence before, and I just let men take reins,” Cara says.“My vision really came to life on this analog EP—my band and I took full advantage of the spontaneous and manic energy of tape recording.”
