LP – Red Vinyl

CLEOPATRICKs sophomore album, FAKE MOON, is a daring leap into new territory for the Cobourg Ontario-based post-rock duo. Its a record spanning time, influence, and sound, blending lo-fi intimacy with grand, expansive production. For Luke Gruntz and Ian Fraser, this album represents more than just a sonic shift its a bold solidification of their ever-developing creative identity. Its the most real thing we could have made, Luke shares. I wanted to do something beautiful. Its a struggle between control and surrender, individuality and belonging. Its where we are now. Returning refreshed from a creative breather, after the rigorous post-pandemic touring of debut LP BUMMER, the newest record on their own Nowhere Special Recordings is a captivating collision of lo-fi grit, quiet introspection, and overt existentialism. Anchored in refusal of conformity, and captured with what can only be described as the audio equivalent to Playstation 1 graphics FAKE MOON navigates power, vulnerability, and the complexities of individual identity with both rawness and precision.
