Magenta Moon Covers David Bowie's “Moonage Daydream”
Los Angeles-based indie-rock duo Magenta Moon, consisting of Elaina Whitesell (lead vocals/bass) and Joey Petrarca (guitar/vocals), released a cover of British singer-songwriter David Bowie's “Moonage Daydream” on December 11, 2024.
An ode to David Bowie, the band filtered and fused their post-punk and modern pop sound to create a boundless track with a free spirit.
The original version of the song was recorded by David Bowie in February 1971 at Radio Luxembourg's studios in London and released as a single by his short-lived band Arnold Corns in May 1971 on B&C Records.
He re-record the song for the 1972 album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”.
The track was written by David Bowie. The cover version was recorded and mixed at Dead Stare Audio by Andrew Solis and mastered by Nick Townsend.- The duo said of the song, “The guitar solo marks the zenith of the song, starting at double speed, and when cut-time hits, soaring notes slice through the ether, illuminating the way on this sonic journey. The track culminates in a swirling outro with cosmic vocals and a deeply emotional violin solo.”
