Moonloops & Zo Lief

Moonloops

Moonloops is the musical project of Sarah Dekker. She began her career writing autobiographical, magical-realist indie pop songs that explore the complex uncertainties of growing up. Her music resonates with fans of artists like Cavetown, Phoebe Bridgers, and Mac DeMarco.

After a successful run with Popronde in 2023 and the well-received release of her debut album this past January, her new EP An Inch Left to Go is set to release in October. This EP showcases a new, more mature side of Moonloops, where she delves into themes such as self-sabotage, comparison, expectations, and transformation.

Zo Lief

Zo Lief is a psychedelic dream-pop duo, consisting of Dutch singer and songwriter Laura Chen and British multi-instrumentalist James Attwood, who split their time between the Netherlands and England. The duo combines cinematic chamber pop melodies with vibrant garage rock guitars and '70s funk synthesizers to create a forward-thinking sound with a retro flair.

As musical and romantic partners, their unique collaboration serves as a gateway into a world where they explore the charm, confusion, and uncertainty of life and love as young adults.

The singles 'Fool' and 'Familiar Strangers' were released ahead of Zo Lief's independent debut EP 'Believe What You Believe' in March 2023 (produced and mixed by James Bagshaw of Temples).

Following a successful crowdfunding campaign, the EP was recently released on vinyl and will be celebrated with a headline show in London on September 20th. Zo Lief has extensively toured the UK and Europe, supporting acts such as Temples, Lo Moon, Zimmer90, and Iraina Mancini. The duo has performed at renowned venues like Paradiso and Melkweg in Amsterdam, Hammersmith Apollo in London, and emerging music hotspots in Amsterdam, Paris, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and Cardiff.

This fall, Zo Lief will tour the Netherlands as a 3voor12 Talent for Popronde 2024 – the country's largest traveling music festival. 'Pinch Me,' the first single from their upcoming 6-track EP 'Hypnosis,' will be released on September 13, 2024. The EP was co-produced and mixed by James Bagshaw (Temples).
