Hanging Up The Moon

Hanging Up The Moon began not in a studio, but in the stillness of a solitary night. Sean Lam, once the voice of Singapore’s trailblazing indie band Concave Scream, turned the quiet hours into his canvas. His debut album, self-recorded in the glow of his study lamp, was as intimate as a whispered conversation. Stripped of ornamentation, it resonated with a hushed beauty that critics and listeners couldn’t ignore — a fragile moment suspended in sound.

But solitude didn’t last. With each passing album, Hanging Up The Moon grew, shedding its minimalist skin. The Biggest Lie In The World was the first sign of transformation, a collaborative effort that saw Sean joined by Dean Aziz (Concave Scream), Leslie Low (The Observatory), and Victor Low (Affixen) — figures as much a part of Singapore’s indie legacy as Sean himself. Their presence wove new textures and psych-folk echoes into the music, expanding its emotional and sonic horizons.

Then came Immaterial, where the project stepped into even lusher terrain. With Alexius Cai entering the fold, Hanging Up The Moon began to embrace strings — violins and cellos weaving around Sean’s voice, creating orchestral swells that felt both grand and deeply personal. The music no longer whispered; it sighed, swelled, and roared.

From quiet beginnings to its sweeping present, Hanging Up The Moon has always held onto its core — the unmistakable voice, the enduring melodies. Through layers of sound and sparse, poignant lyrics, Sean Lam’s songwriting paints a portrait of the island-state Singapore — a space where the stillness of reflection is heard amidst the hum of urban life.
