Jan 13, 2020By considering themes such as love, social injustice and all round perseverance, it is both mature and engaging. The Big Moon are constantly breathing new life into a genre which sometimes runs stale. For that we should be eternally grateful.
-
Jan 9, 2020Walking Like We Do is expansive lyrically, thematically and sonically, touching on social inequality and frustration with the current political and societal climate.
-
Jan 10, 2020With strong tunes, great vocals and a spring in their step, The Big Moon are not struggling for a creative spark – far from it.
-
Jan 10, 2020They’ve certainly made interesting, bolder leaps than before with this second record. We’re ready to jump in again.
-
Feb 18, 2020It's a heavy theme to handle, but thankfully (or perhaps to its chagrin), most of these topics go unnoticed if you submit to its simple guitar-pop pleasures.
-
Jan 10, 2020The Big Moon demonstrate both musical and lyrical versatility on Walking Like We Do. It might seem like a predictable move for a guitar band to unleash a keyboard-heavy album number two, but unlike other bands who have deployed this method, they don’t go so far down the wormhole that they lose their original appeal.

Jan 10, 2020Jackson is empathetic and spirited as she sings about her fears of being left behind. But the Big Moon’s sharp update ensures they won’t be.
-
Jan 10, 2020Certain songs work better than others: “Dog Eat Dog” tries to tackle social injustice but lacks real bite; “Don’t Think”, though, has all the swagger and defiance of vintage Blondie. Most impressive is how much more confident The Big Moon sound as a band.
-
Jan 13, 2020Taken on its own merits, Walking Like We Do is an unmitigated success, and a timely reminder of the simplicity of youth.
-
Jan 9, 2020The results may be a bit odd and unfashionable, but one of the great pleasures of Walking Like We Do is that it simply could not have been made by anyone other than The Big Moon.
