PRESS

"Ethereal, dark-wave, spacey synth-pop that carries with it just a touch of Gothic darkness. An otherworldly journey that blends tribal New Age rhythms, celestial synth-scapes, and mesmerising vocals together in such a way as to create what amounts to a sonic out-of-body experience."

PHOTOGRAPHY: LUNAR DECEPTION – AN EXPERIMENT IN CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF SONG – BY SELINA MAYER AND BRITT SEEL

 

What started out as a stylistic reaction to the lack of creativity associated with the genre of ‘band photography’ (a seemingly endless wasteland of uninteresting pictures of people in jeans and T-shirts, standing in front of walls, sitting on sofas or staggered on stairwells, looking gloomily into the camera, often lacking in style, substance and without the faintest hint of what the music actually sounds like), led Britt Seel (aka Foe), a South African born and London bred fashion stylist, creative director & singer, to start the search for the ultimate visual representation for her musical project Lunar Deception.

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU COMBINE A VISIONARY ACTIVIST, A METAL/IDM & PSYCHEDLICS-FULELLED DRUMMER WITH AN OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE MUSICIAN? 

Lunar Deception combine ethereal, hypnotic melodies with the guts, backbone & raw talent to back up their conviction. Whilst their heaven & hell sound is reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine, Black Tambourine & Fever Ray this outfit refuse to gaze at the floor. Lead singer & synth player Britt Foe is an acclaimed artist, fashion designer & writer, notorious for her high fashion theatrics. Music has always been the passion she held closest to her heart & like a spectral butterfly she has emerged with intense splendour, fully formed & beautiful.
