Moon Age returns with their second single, “Time is Running Out,” a lush, retro-tinged track that solidifies their sonic identity while digging a little deeper emotionally. Hailing from Stockport, UK, Matt Hanson and Bryn Shipperlee have crafted a world that fuses the nostalgic shimmer of 80s synths with funk-driven bass lines, melodic guitar riffs, and hazy, dreamlike vocals. The result is something that feels both familiar and entirely their own—like a neon memory of a night you can’t quite forget.
Where their debut introduced us to their love for groove and texture, “Time is Running Out” steps things up, pairing a polished production with more emotionally weighted lyrics. There’s a bittersweetness that runs through the track, touching on the kind of romantic disillusionment that creeps in when love begins to unravel. The song taps into that universal anxiety—the fear that maybe love doesn’t come around as easily as we hope, and the quiet panic that builds when we start to feel like time isn’t on our side. Yet, rather than sinking into sorrow, Moon Age channels those feelings into a track that shimmers and pulses with life.
It’s a balance that’s hard to strike: melancholy wrapped in glitter, regret underscored by a beat that makes you move. “Time is Running Out” manages it effortlessly, thanks to their clear understanding of how to layer emotion and sound. From the opening synth tones to the final echo of the vocals, it’s a track that holds you—just long enough for you to feel something, but never long enough for it to bring you down.
Moon Age is definitely one to keep an eye on. If this second single is any indication, they’ve got a lot more to say, and they know exactly how they want it to sound.
