The opening track establishes the mood and sonics of the album well, and as the album gets its name from this track, it is clear this song is an important one for Erro. Classic rock rhythms and dreamy electric guitars float through this arrangement as atmospheric vocals sing “when I close my eyes, you’re all I see.” It seems like the relationship in “Strawberry Moon” has some confusing push and pull, and the tense, yet satisfying ebb and flow of the instrumentation matches those emotions perfectly.
Chugging guitars, riffing electric melodies, and passionate drums lead the listener through each song. From intense uptempo songs to more lowkey swaying hits, “Strawberry Moon” offers both an eclectic and cohesive listening experience that consistently showcases the impressive talent and clean artistic vision of Erro. All of the instruments in this album were recorded live, and some of the guitars were improvised and recorded in real time. You can definitely feel the raw performances coming through in these tracks, which adds a riveting level of intimacy between the listener and these songs. The closing song, “Shine” is particularly impactful, with introspective chord progressions and layered vocals giving the track a moving vulnerability that closes the album beautifully.
