What
would one want to know about LUNAR? There is not
much that needs to be known, as it would be more appropriate and
rewarding to simply listen to their music. Anyway, for those in
need, the story goes something like this. After leaving Gone
Bald, Bojan (drums) and Nixa
(bass) decided to move on with another band. LUNAR
was born in 1998 and thank you for asking, it was not a difficult
birth: no Caesarean section was needed. A few guitarists (Franjo,
Mexo, Sven, Saša)
came and went before Davor and Mijo
settled down and clicked with Bojan and Nixa,
and during that period, LUNAR made two records.
Debut album There Is No 1
had been released by Carnival Tunes Records/Delboy Records
in 2000, and had been met with critical praise all over the place.
While supporting it, they toured a lot and beside playing bunch
of shows in Croatia, they played in many European countries: Netherlands,
Belgium, Austria, Italy, Germany, Slovenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina
and Serbia & Montenegro.

Their second album First And Last
Lost was supposed to be released by same record labels.
However, the digital machinery with the files of the record broke
down and the record was lost forever. The legend said that the record
itself was awesome. Members of the band gasped, dropped the whole
case and decided that it was a good time to return to good old analog
style. In keeping true to the spirit, they bought the biggest fucking
analog recorder in the world.
Moonlee Records is proud to announce
the arrival of this hard-working band to its rooster. Their third
full-length, and first for the Moonlee Records,
is named Turbo because that's how it sounds.
Gigantic and great. An appropriate title for mostly instrumental
music which consists of dynamic and propulsive rhythms interwoven
with delicate guitars. Turbo is a sound
of wandering through nebula or a soundtrack for the solar eclipse.
Turbo is a mysterious space travel followed
by a pleasant return to Earth. However, it may be something completely
different. As it is already said, one should rather listen and hear
it.
