Moon Landing

Moon Landing is the musical workings of multi-instrumentalist Jake McCrea.

Moon Landing first appeared in 2021 with the single ‘The Room is Spinning,’ which created a soundscape that peeked into the deep void of space and called out for signs of life, paying homage to Spiritualized’s ‘Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.’

Fast forward to 2023 which saw Moon Landing being crowned champion of Chordblossom’s Kickstart ‘23 award, nominated for the Joe Cassidy Chrysalis Award at NI Music Prize, as well as being added to Jimmy Eat World’s official Spotify playlist after the release of debut EP ‘Blink Once and Miss the World Go By’!

2024 began with Moon Landing being tipped as one to watch for the year by both Hot Press Magazine and Belfast Telegraph as well as playing a sold out debut headline show in Belfast’s Ulster Sports Club! This has been followed up by another sold out show with ‘Regard Belfast’ and appearances at Stendhal Festival and Greenbelt festival as well as an upcoming performance in Belfast’s famous Mandela Hall.
“Moon Landing’s gorgeous and grandiose debut EP, Blink Once And Miss The World Go By, cemented him as one of the North’s most exciting new stars“ - Hotpress

“You would be forgiven thinking this (Feel, Don’t Think) was a lost Arcade Fire single. Moon Landing could be huge given the right backing.” - Taylor Johnson (BBC Introducing)

“Moon Landing continues to shoot for the stars with new single ‘Feel, Don’t Think’. A stellar string-swept number, the stirring song is a euphoric four minutes that calls to mind the likes of Mercury Rev and Snow Patrol at their best.” - Edwin McFee, The Sunday life Newspaper
