Kaz Moon:
24 Hour Movie
track premiere
Multi-faceted artist Kaz Moon shows us his talent as a minimal pop songwriter with the hauntingly surreal single “24 Hour Movie.” Juxtaposing electronic instrumentation with pop harmonies and sampled drums, Kaz Moon creates a one-of-a-kind sound that makes listening to his music feel like a lucid dream.
about the artist:
Kaz Moon is the music and multimedia project created by Cody Yao, a 22-year old singer, songwriter, producer, photographer and videographer from Dallas, Texas. A gifted, off-kilter pop-songwriter evoking artists like Julian Casablancas and Damon Albarn, Moon first garnered attention with his 2018 album "Summerbug", a stripped-down collection of songs combining grim lyricism and cheery production. Since then, Kaz Moon has continued to be a quiet revelation in the Dallas music scene.
Yao has been nurturing a variety of creative disciplines since he was 14 and creates all his music by himself. His first release, Anomie, was a lo-fi dream pop record made during his senior year of college. The lead single “Stars in the Pool” was included in Dallas alternative magazine Central Track’s “Top 100 Local Songs of 2017”. His most recent project, Summerbug, is a unique 6-song collage of intimate, dark pop songs about loneliness, longing, and finding purpose. He was recently featured on the lead single “Work For You” on Medasin’s debut album Irene.
