Hunger is about a persons desperate need to feel complete, then one day realizing the consequences of every decision and sacrifice made to fill the void. The lyrics paint a dark and emotional atmosphere that, coalesced with the light and catchy character of the music, creates a hopeful, strong and empowering soundscape.

Haze

The Moon and River was founded in 2013 by Karine Jæger and Jahn Erlend Holm following months of creative collaboration between the two. With an already established sound and a solid catalogue of songs, they decided to turn the project into a band. 

In 2015 The Moon and River had their live debut as they entered the band competition Emergenza Festival, under their original name For River, and played two shows for a packed and mesmerized audience at John Dee in Oslo.

The following years was spent perfecting, rewriting, producing and recording what will soon become their debut album, starting with the release of their new single Hunger.
