Anthony Moore, AKA & Friends - On Beacon Hill (2025) [Hi-Res]

Musician Anthony Moore, known for his work in avant-pop, art rock, and experimental sound, has released the album On Beacon Hill in collaboration with the Hastings collective AKA & Friends. AKA & Friends, drawing inspiration from the sea, sky, and folklore, create music that is both grounded and otherworldly. The group, utilizing guitar, piano, organ, synth, voice, trombone, double bass, and violin, reinterprets Moore’s songs spanning six decades. The album's chamber-folk arrangements feature a loose approach to rhythm, emphasizing melody and atmosphere. The resulting music is described as intimate and surreal, a mix of gothic lounge and spectral chamber orchestra. Moore's weathered yet commanding voice is likened to the gravity of the late Johnny Cash while maintaining its own dreamlike quality. On Beacon Hill serves as both reflection and renewal, symbolizing a journey from memory and darkness toward a fragile new light.
