Lead singer and songwriter Jon Atkin's "cerebral lyrics" and "open-faced jazz aches" commune with the stately, indie guitar rock mojo that is Moon Dial. In their fourth year as a group and with the creation of a fully crowd-funded debut album, the band continues to garner the attention of northwest music enthusiasts. Moon Dial plans to release another album’s worth of songs in 2018. Heralded as a "massive musical presentation" in "an experience that cannot often be found in today’s music scene", the new album Nice Day Pretty Colors features support by several Seattle-based musicians. NDPC ebbs and flows musically between subtle orchestration and unabashed pop hooks; whispering saxophones to saturated guitar wizardry. All the while, Atkin’s “emotive, fully-realized, and engaging” presence as a singer and lyricist is spotlighted throughout.
