The sound produced by Moon Age has a feel like stepping into the 70′-80 US retro-hippie nightclub scene. The track is encircled around the line ‘Time is Running Out’ which is sung by a warm female voice. As the song begins, it oozes a chill, an intoxicating vibe. The vocals are soft, sultry, and impossibly glossy, gliding over the arrangement with an air of cool detachment. Something that not only makes the song stand out but gives it its allure of fame. The bass licks are rich and rhythmic, shimmering in beautiful layers of electronic flavours. The feel is like a scene from a late-night drive where the rearview mirror catches the pulse of the late-hour glimmering city lights.

Moon Age clearly has an affinity for the golden age of retro-futurism. Their sound is an appreciative imitation of the era gone past. A pastiche of the past, yet a revival, a revitalization of the time when groove was the king. Moon Age’s ‘Time is Running Out’ is a mood.
