The work of Brooklyn-based artist Moon Shine reflects the varied background of its creator, Angie Glasscock. Memphis soul, Nashville country and LA polish are combined on Moon Shine’s debut album, The Land in Between, named after Glasscock’s familial itinerance and the search for a home of her own.
Glasscock’s origin story is explored in the album’s title cut. “The Land in Between” kicks off with a stirring Wurlitzer line and the beginning of the singer’s travels – “I was born in Memphis/But didn’t stay long.” After moving to California, Mom and Dad split up, Dad moved to Tennessee, and a long childhood of constant travel (perhaps presaging her life as a musician) began – “Back and forth/We’re traveling/Between two extremes.” The music, spiced with horns and Glasscock’s smooth voice, keeps the narrative flowing.
