Close Cover Before Striking

Luna’s Close Cover Before Striking on Jetset Records captures the Brooklyn dream-pop outfit at a pivotal moment—layered guitars dissolving into synth-driven arrangements, Dean Wareham’s deadpan vocals floating above shimmering walls of reverb. Released during the label’s golden era of alternative pop curation, the album balances melancholic introspection with moments of lush, almost baroque instrumentation, making it a defining entry in 90s indie rock’s more introspective corners.
