Moontype is a Chicago-based indie rock trio known for their jangly guitar hooks, introspective lyrics, and off-kilter charm. Formed in 2019, the band features Margaret McCarthy (bass, vocals), Ben Cruz (guitar, vocals), and Emerson Hunton (drums), blending post-punk energy with slacker-rock vibes. They’ve built a DIY following through sweaty basement shows and shared bills with acts like Dehd and Deeper. Their 2021 debut album *Bodies of Water* solidified their knack for pairing existential musings with fizzy melodies, while tracks like "Ferry" and "Stuck On You" showcase their grungy warmth and conversational lyricism. Whether riffing on relationships or existential drift, Moontype’s music feels like a late-night chat with your cleverest, most disheveled friend.
