The Big Moon
London four-piece The Big Moon share new single Trouble, the second single from their forthcoming third album, Here Is Everything, due for release on 14th October via Fiction Records.
The Big Moon vocalist Juliette Jackson comments on the new single: “Trouble is about remembering walking over the railway bridge to the hospital to give birth. This is a bridge I cross every day, but somehow in my memory on that day it’s like a bridge over a canyon in a technicolour Wizard of Oz jungle landscape. Like giant leaves and blurry edges and oversaturated colours. But it’s just a pissy graffiti-covered South London pedestrian bridge. And it’s about learning that memories aren’t always right, and you don’t have to hang on to them and be traumatised by them forever.
“I’ve since realised that this song has been more than a song to me, it’s been healing. Birth is traumatic, however you do it, and for me the early months of motherhood were even more traumatising. No one tells you how difficult breastfeeding is! It’s almost like, by making that experience sound like joy and then playing it again and again with my best friends, I've found a way of reframing my memory of that period. You can forget, you can remember it differently, you can heal, you can live.”
